His work ranges across media and makes use of diverse styles, having worked on a variety of design projects from graphic design to front-end development. James has worked with both large scale clients such as banks and art galleries, as well as independent businesses and professionals. James is the co-founder of Plaid Magazine, an independent magazine that ran from 2009-2012, and co-founded Vintage Crawl Toronto for which he acts as Creative Director. Before entering a full-time career in design, James taught, developed curriculum, and administrated a program at a Toronto-based community college.

James has a profound interest in visual culture, holding a Masters from York University in Communications and culture. He likes cats and sailboats, and thinks that writing bios in the third person is weird.
