I'm James, a freelance developer and the founder of Bakewell Digital. I've spent over a decade in various roles across the digital sector, and I'm now happy to bring agency-level quality to every project without the agency layers or the agency price.
When you work with Bakewell Digital, you work directly with me. No account managers and no hand-offs to juniors, just fixed, agreed deliverables, straight answers and work I'm proud to put my name to.
