👋 Say hello to AJ.

AJ is a Design Director with 18+ years’ experience building brands you’ll definitely recognise. Nestlé, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Unilever and P&G are all on the client list, with work spanning iconic names including KitKat, Nescafé, Colgate and Dr Teal’s.

Specialising in global branding and FMCG packaging, AJ brings the senior-level thinking without losing the hands-on craft. He can set the creative direction, lead a team or get stuck straight into the design, with a particular talent for brand identity, packaging and illustration.

Fast-paced brief? Tight turnaround? No drama. AJ’s spent the last six years working successfully with remote teams and knows how to hit the ground running.

From one freelancer to an entire project team.
Growing pains not included.

The creative industry has always been built on people giving someone their first chance.
That’s exactly why we created the Allies Academy.

For us, it’s not just about finding brilliant freelancers for today. It’s about helping build the next generation of creative talent for tomorrow.

Breaking into this industry can feel impossible without experience. But everyone starts somewhere.

Through the Academy, we’re opening doors, sharing knowledge, creating opportunities and helping emerging creatives build the confidence, connections and experience they need to begin their careers.

We’re incredibly proud to play a small part in that journey.

The next generation is already here. Let’s make sure they get the opportunities they deserve.

xBlurring the lines between hand-drawn punk chaos and refined vector editorials, Jamie’s work is inspired by Japanese street culture, nature, and the art of capturing fleeting moments. His raw, textured hand-drawn pieces channel rebellious energy, while his editorial vector art dives into thought-provoking commentary, stunning portraits, and the nostalgia of our tech-obsessed world.
