Jamie started his design career working with Jim Sutherland and Gareth Howat at hat-trick design consultants in 2001, after not graduating from Somerset College of Arts (he left in his second year). Following a stint as a freelance designer he formed Magpie Studio in a pub in early 2008 with two of his best buddies. Magpie Studio went on to become one of the UK’s most internationally awarded agencies (6th in the Design Week Creative Survey 2013) working with household names from Apple to the British Heart Foundation, Nike to Royal Mail.
