James is an award-winning designer, director, and aesthetic agitator. He mixes strategy, instinct, and an unhealthy addiction to Swiss typefaces to build brands that actually behave. With decades of experience across identity, digital, motion, and print, he perfects pixels, foils business cards no one wants to hand out, and makes content count. Passionate and professionally disrespectful when it counts, he’s the head of colouring-in you want in the room.
