Abby JamesGraphic designer for film, TV and commercials
CV,  Instagram,  IMDb

Creating graphic details — big and small — to build worlds behind the camera. Sharp eye for layout and typography, from a decade in journalism and magazine publishing. Stuck in the late 20th century. Versed in period and contemporary. Lover of design high and low. Somewhere making books.

Former magazine journalist and print layout designer. Member of Graphics Union UK.

Based in London and the South East.
