About

getMade Design is a creative design consultancy, we specialise in 3D design - Industrial Design, Design for Environmental Art, Interior architecture and Lighting Installations.

getMade is the collaboration between James and Louise Johnson. We are fortunate to work on diverse projects where the crossover of different disciplines can often create the most interesting outcomes. The work varies from large scale projects such as Visual Direction for the Hinterland event that opened the Scottish Year of Architecture and Design, ‘Ghost Peloton’ for the Grand depart of the Tour de France, and kit design for ‘Speed of Light’ part of the 2014 Cultural Olympiad, to small intimate projects like the design and build of off grid accommodation huts in a protected woodland on a Scottish island . Our studio space includes a fully operational workshop for the realisation of models, prototypes and experimental pieces, and with fibre direct to the premises we connect with clients worldwide .

James studied at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, gaining a Masters in Industrial Design Engineering. Since then he has been lucky enough to work with some of the world’s most respected design offices in London, Paris and Japan, furniture designer Jasper Morrison, architect Norman Foster, architect, artist and engineer Santiago Calatrava. James also regularly tutors at the Royal College of Art and The Glasgow School of Art and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Louise, originally gaining a degree in Interior Architecture has worked for design consultancies in London, Edinburgh and Bangkok, specialising in Interior Retail Design, with projects ranging from the O2 and Selfridges in London to design and project management of small residential projects and bespoke cafes and restaurants. Since returning to Scotland she and James have created getMade Design.
