Start-Up Spotlight: Jam Scones Design

19 September 2025

Nestled in the heart of South West London is Jam Scones Design, a product design consultancy and online store run by Sam Jones. Sam’s built a reputation for turning ambitious ideas into practical, real-world solutions. From developing patent-pending technologies to delivering high-profile design projects, he brings both creativity and strategic thinking to every stage of the design and product development cycle.

His experience spans pioneering automotive work at Aston Martin Lagonda, a Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 studentship focused on human-centred innovation, and behavioural change design with Design for Good. Today, through Jam Scones Design, Sam draws on this breadth of expertise to create forward-thinking, user-focused solutions that deliver on style and substance.

We sat down with Sam to find out how our SOLIDWORKS for Start-Ups scheme has enabled him to hit the ground running with his new business.

Getting Jam Scones Design onto the Scheme

Sam: When I first came across Visiativ’s SOLIDWORKS for Start-Ups Programme, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the application process turned out to be refreshingly simple and straightforward. I applied using their online form and was thrilled to hear back almost instantly that my application was successful!

From day one, the Visiativ team made everything clear. They took the time to explain what was included in the programme and gave me a full overview of the resources available. That level of support made the whole process smooth and stress free.

Thanks to the programme, I was able to get up and running with SOLIDWORKS quickly, without unnecessary delays or complications. Having access to the tools and training I needed meant I could focus on what matters most: building my business. The software was also free for the first year, which has enabled me to crack on without worrying about cashflow – so important for any new business.

Partnership with Visiativ

Sam: I’m really grateful to the Visiativ team for their guidance and encouragement from day one to today. Their support has been invaluable, and I’m already seeing the difference it makes in how I work.

Would you recommend SOLIDWORKS for Start-Ups?

Sam: Oh, absolutely – In fact, I already have!
