A course by James Eccleston
James Eccleston is an English designer and founder of Bridge, a Madrid-based brand & UX design studio that helps people improve their brands through a passion for the process of design and the needs of an audience. While completing his Bachelor’s degree in Design at The University of Salford in Manchester, James began his career designing record sleeves for rock bands and then ventured into working for major branding agencies in London for 8 years once he obtained his degree.
After spending four years working with tech startups in Buenos Aires, Argentina, his perspective on design evolved, seeing the need to elevate the power of design and turn it into a more collaborative environment. James founded his design studio in Madrid, after a 6-month backpacking trip from Buenos Aires to New York, where he created whatmadeyouhappy.com, interviewing the people he met along the way. This experience laid the groundwork for his philosophy at Bridge: “life and business are all about making genuine connections and helping people.” Their most notable clients include Virgin, McCann, Sociably, IED Madrid, and more.
