Testimonials

“Explaining complex data and policy ideas is central to what we do, so effective infographics are an important way to help communicate our ideas to different audiences efficiently and effectively. Through his creative layouts, bold yet simple design style and knack for suggesting approaches we hadn’t considered, Jim Kynvin has been instrumental in shaping our graphic brand. As a supplier, he has also proved reliable in meeting often short deadlines for projects and flexible in his readiness to respond to our changing client needs.”

“I’ve worked with Jim on a number of key projects over the last few years and he’s always a pleasure – kind-hearted and easy going, with a great eye for detail. Most recently we worked together on the IKEA UK Annual Report, an exceptional piece of work which myself and the wider communications team are immensely proud of. Jim’s creative talent and expertise enabled us to transform what could be quite a dry, financial report into something colourful, engaging and inspiring. We’ve had lots of positive feedback about his designs and some IKEA markets have been so inspired by them that they’ve asked if they can use and adapt for their purposes.”

“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you very much for all the work that you put into making our first Holiday Reports look so good. I know we gave you a very quick turnaround and that the addition of a German language report brought an added degree of complexity but they both looked great – really fresh and engaging and very different to what we’ve generally produced before as a business. We’ve had so many positive comments on the design, externally but also, as importantly for us, internally. Thank you for doing such a great job for us. Hugely appreciative!”

“We’ve worked regularly with Jim for a few years now, across a number of our reports and PR campaigns. I would recommend him without hesitation. He always produces high quality work and has a knack for conveying complex information in an accessible and interesting way. I really appreciate how he gets his head around the brief quickly and offers helpful suggestions. And he’s never missed a deadline, even when we’ve had a tight turnaround or needed things at short notice.”

"Jim was creative and dedicated, really putting in the hard graft on a complicated and demanding project. His vision and ideas helped shaped the Shop, Live and Look report, a brand new piece of work which was a really collaborative piece of work. Crucially for us, his designs were picked up by the media and re-used wholesale in editorial pieces - a ringing endorsement of his talent for creating not just good design, but design that gets talked about."

"I've worked with Jim on multiple projects for many years. He has always impressed with attention to detail and an aesthetic sense that has never failed to result in output of an exceptional quality, and very successful outcomes. The fact that he can produce work across such a huge variety of media - from print to mobile, physical to digital, has been critical in the success of many contracts we've undertaken together."

Tom Grinsted,
Head of Mobile and Devices,
The Guardian

"I've worked with Jim on a number of occasions and each time have been impressed with his speedy translation of a brief, his creative flair, his willingness to bust a gut to get things done on tight deadlines - not to mention the great work he produces, which has helped secure all-important press coverage. He's also forthcoming with ideas and will tell you straight if he doesn't think something will work. I highly recommend!"
