About me

Jim is a multi award-winning designer. His innovative cat-food bowl won BBC's Tomorrow's World's Best Inventions pilot in 2001. Whilst studying, D&AD included his work 'in-book' (2006). His Blindspot series is Design Parade selected (2007). In 2008, he won an RSA Design Directions award and in 2012 the Faces of Design award.

Originally he trained as a model-maker in the film and television industry (working on The Muppet Treasure Island, Band of Brothers, Tomb Raider, Victoria and Albert). Jim then went on to teach at a special needs school in London before completing a Master's degree (2006) in Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design (part of London's University of the Arts).

In 2016, Jim curated the very first Dyslexic Design exhibition, which was designed by Ab Rogers and hosted by designjunction. The show challenged perceptions of dyslexia by accentuating its positive effects and its close association with design. Dyslexic Design is a Silver Winner in the London Design Awards; category: Pop-Ups, Display, Exhibit & Set Design. Many now consider Jim's work to be a symbol of the gifts that dyslexia can bring.
