THE JAMES AGENCY
A rural upbringing with a passion for all things design in a place that doesn’t fully understand it. Telepathic transmission reveals my internal monologue constantly critiquing and taking note of good and bad design. This struggle fueled my desire to be a professional graphic designer. Suited up with a graphic design degree I set out gaining professional experience in screen print design, print advertisement, illustrating and branding. Suffering from wanderlust I spent a year abroad in Australia and saw design from a new perspective. These experiences and struggles are the very reason I am the designer you see today.
Between the beers or wines and the deadlines, it’s not all work. Remaining playful and taking the time to seek adventure keeps the mind fresh. If I'm not riding off into the sunset on my motorcycle, I'm sitting in a hammock, setting up a tent or taking our 4Runner, Maxine, for a walk.
