James Frewin

Design Engineer

Designer and design engineer in London. I run OCTOBER, an independent design studio for startups and VCs, and I was the first designer and design engineer at Jack & Jill.

11 years across product design, brand and marketing. For the last 3 I’ve also built what I design: web apps, React Native, and native SwiftUI for iOS and Mac.

I help with product design, design engineering, micro-interactions, interactive prototypes, branding, design audits, workshops and speaking. More on what I do

Clients include LinkedIn, Unilever, the UK and UAE governments, Atlantic Records, K5 Global, Every and Backed VC, and more than 70 startups and funds.

Elsewhere

One of the first Cursor ambassadors, and I teach building with AI at buildwithaicourse.com. VC scout on the side. I’ve taught and spoken at LinkedIn, EY, BT, London Business School, King’s College London and others.

Off screen: photography, with over 7.4 million views, and Leeds United. I lived in Portugal for 3 years, and now I’m making the most of London life.
