We partner with ambitious people, to grow brands and digital experiences.

Working together

  • Partner

    A seamless partnership where I’m essentially an extension of your team. Paying a set amount a month for my time and skills. Working towards your goals and projects to achieve them with no need to estimate for every single task, you let me know what you need and I jump on it.

  • Project

    We can work together as part of the Discovery phase to fully understand your challenges and goals, putting together a low/high project cost (there’s always unknowns or changes along the way). Building a project timeline together that delivers what you need when you need it.

  • Freelance

    If you’re looking to expand your team during busy times or need to fill a gap if someone is away I can step in to support. I’m used to diving head first into projects, rapidly picking up the requirements of the brief, to create strategic solutions across branding, advertising and product design.

Kind words

  • George is personable, dependable, smart and sharp. He has an impressive diverse skill-set across graphic design, creative strategy and branding - with fantastic insights across most verticals. George always left me reassured that the words "I'm on it" meant he was due to deliver a creatively original and strategically on-point solution. Don't hesitate with George - snap him up before your competitor does.

  • George is amazingly hardworking. He does incredibly well in both high pressure and fast paced environments. Not many can do that. What I love most is George's disposition. He has a great attitude and always comes to the table with new ideas and ways to execute. Incredible smart, witty, and fun.

  • George combines pace, strategic design and modern aesthetics to turn challenging briefs into beautiful, intelligent designs that have helped us sell more, and stay authentic to our brand. I'd highly recommend him as a creative partner.

  • High Passion + Lots of Skill + Not shy of Hard Work = George Jillard. George is one of the most passionate designers I’ve worked with. His broader understanding on the importance of brand, his ability to get under the skin of a brief and what appeals to the target audience, and his strength in creating exquisite visuals are all top class. Equally George is always articulate when discussing/sharing his ideas with the team, and also when presenting them to clients. Plus, he always remains a cool and calm influence when the studio hits the ‘manic’ level on the dial!

  • George is an exciting talent. In his time at CAB he has been a driving influence on the culture and on the quality of creative work leaving the studio. A very popular Cabbie from beginning to end, his very genuine and thoughtful character was a great asset to the company, especially in developing a large variety of brands that have given numerous large scale challenger brands the ability to push for top place in their industry. His talent to see through the complexity and find the big idea for brands is strong and the creative execution and art direction of the further communications some of the best I have seen.

  • George is a great guy. Total pleasure to work with and along with his great design skills, he thinks hard about the brand, it’s promise and positioning. Really creative thinker and designer with super fast application and general all round team player. We worked with him on 2 or 3 projects and would definitely recommend him as an assured and skilled designer.

  • George has always provided us with a service which is second to none. His creativity and innovation has produced hugely beneficial results for our company. The consummate professional, his attention to detail and attentiveness to clients makes working with him a successful pleasure!
