Think Design is my independent design studio. I’m Jamie Yearsley, a senior designer and art director with over 30 years of industry experience. I started my career as a traditional artworker before moving into design and art direction. That background still shapes how I work today: I care about the idea, but I also care about the detail, the production and whether the finished piece genuinely works in the real world.

For direct clients, I often become an external design department — someone who knows the brand, understands the people and can move comfortably from a major report or white paper to the landing page, social assets and everyday communications that support it.
For agencies, I work as a trusted senior extension of the creative team. I am often brought directly into client relationships, working under the agency banner and taking responsibility for projects from brief through to final delivery. I can lead concept development when needed, work within an established creative direction, or step in as experienced hands-on support when deadlines are tight.
I’m comfortable working independently and equally comfortable collaborating with writers, strategists, developers, illustrators, photographers, account teams and internal stakeholders. I use Adobe Creative Cloud as my core workflow and adapt to client systems and tools, including Figma, when the project requires it.
My strongest and preferred areas of work are reports and editorial design, print advertising and campaigns, exhibitions and brand-led communications. My broader experience also covers identity, presentations, social assets, animation and web design, which means long-term clients can use one trusted creative partner across a wide range of needs.
I’m based in Bristol and work with clients and agency partners internationally. Many relationships begin with a single project and continue for years. That long-term trust, and the consistency it creates, is at the heart of how Think Design works.
