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 Narrm/Melbourne. My practice explores the intersection of communication, user experience, and technology — investigating how digital platforms can extend and support contemporary visual communication. I teach communication design at Monash University, where I graduated in 2019. From 2018 to 2024, I was part of the collaborative design practice Amici , working alongside Selena Repanis and Liz Luby. I’ve also worked as a designer and developer at the Melbourne-based studio Pidgeon Ward , and continue to collaborate with studios, institutions, and researchers on multidisciplinary design projects.
