Jake Dow-Smith

interactive design & programming;

My work focuses on designing and building digital experiences that encourage exploration and rethink familiar interactions.

Since founding my practice in London in 2010, I've worked with a wide range of international clients—from brands like Fred Perry, to artists, agencies and cultural institutions. My work has been recognised both online and offline, most recently including a Lovie Award for Lavenham.

Alongside commissioned projects, I've launched Soft, an iPhone camera app that captures your environment, Structured Pictures, a reference library for creatives, and Publish Something Online, a tool for students. I've also taught interactive design at Central Saint Martins, and frequently lead talks & workshops too.

For more on how I work, you can read my interviews with It's Nice That, Frontier Magazine & Creative Lives in Progress, where I discuss designing with intentional friction, and balancing IRL and digital experiences in a world of short attention spans.
