A folio of design work by James Meadowcroft
↤ Back Home

I’m a ‘multidisciplinary’ designer. My practice is driven by research. It takes a strategic approach to outcomes.

Design is iterative. Design is collaborative. Design is hard to define.

I’m a graphic designer, web developer, photographer, book designer, user experience designer, videographer, project manager, researcher and strategist.

Design is inherently multidisciplinary. Design is the mixture of specialities. Design is fun to be a part of.

This is my folio.

A résumé of sorts

I’m an independent communication designer, programmer and educator based in Naarm/Melbourne. My practice explores the intersection of communication, user experience and technology — investigating how digital platforms can extend and support contemporary visual communication.

I'm also building Set Space   with Sam Soh , a software platform for location scouts, while teaching design at Monash and RMIT University. I've worked at Melbourne studio Pidgeon Ward , and continue collaborating with agencies, institutions and researchers on multidisciplinary projects. From 2018 to 2024, I was part of Amici , a collaborative design practice with Selena Repanis   and Liz Luby.
