Hello 👋 I’m James Genchi, founder of Ilkley Creative.
After 15 years working for agencies, start-ups, and some of the world’s largest brands, I’m finally going it alone as a freelance creative.

My background is in UX/UI design, web and app development, photography, and videography.

My goal is simple: bring the power of research and data-led digital creative to local businesses.
