I'm Jamie. I’ve helped 100+ startups and companies bring their ideas to life and find a unique style that their customers fall in love with. I've seen and spoken with thousands of startups across various industries, and know exactly what it takes to make your brand stand out.
I started Painkiller to make my expertise more accessible to the early-stage companies that I enjoy working with the most. Painkiller offers a fast-moving process that will deliver 10x improvements to your branding on a lightning-quick timeline.
Together we'll explore how you present yourself to the world and create a foundation you can expand on later with a less expensive design team. Whether you’re preparing for a big product launch, pitching to investors, or simply showing off, you can get world-class design expertise at a price you can afford today.
I know how challenging it can be to go from 0 to 1 with a distinct art direction, so I’ve designed this offering specifically to give you the bump that every start up needs to kickstart their hockey stick growth trajectory.
I have worked with over 100+ companies, several of which are among the most successful brands on the planet. Many of these companies were not household names when I worked with them, and I’ve researched, understood and succeeded in more industries than most design studios, never mind individual designers.
The core value of this service is that the three options I provide you with will be higher quality than what you could produce throughout several revision cycles with less experienced designers.
You aren’t paying for my time today, you’re paying for the 15 years I’ve spent becoming one of the best designers you'll meet, and I can only hope the quality of my testimonials reflect that.
Absolutely! Here’s a link to my design practice. You'll find more of my work and a portfolio over there. Take a look and see the quality and variety I'll bring to the table.
Hiring a full-time or freelance designer often comes with significant costs, both in terms of salary and the time it takes to onboard and manage them. Plus, they might lack the specific experience or domain knowledge that I’ve built up over 15 years working with top startups and companies. With Painkiller, you get expert-level guidance and execution without the hassle or overhead.
We can usually get started right away. Email me or Book a Call to lock in your spot and discuss your timeline.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information together, I’ll need a couple of days to create moodboards. After agreeing on a direction, I’ll deliver three art direction concepts within a week. Once you select a direction, it will take about another week or so to finalise your homepage design for your website.
All communication is handled through Slack. I’ll invite you to a dedicated channel where you can involve your team for feedback and thoughts. I don’t take calls or meetings outside of the initial introduction. This approach keeps me efficient, creative, and able to meet the tight deadlines we set.
I’m open to discussing larger projects, though they typically involve higher costs. The idea behind this offering is to provide you with a world-class home page, alongside the assets your marketing team can use, or a less experienced design team can take forward in your new visual direction.
Paying me to expand on the foundation I’m providing here is not usually cost-effective for early-stage companies.

Not really a question, but I'll let it slide! I'm happy to answer anything else you have in mind. Feel free to Email me or Book a Call, and I'll get back to you with answers.
