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' design interests lie in doing high quality work that makes a positive impact on the world around him. He enjoys learning and being challenged in terms of material and technological methodologies. His goal is to create work that is beautiful, and meaningful.
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.
