HOWDY. I'M JAMES

T-shirts. Jeans. Ideas.

I’ve been developing audience-grabbing, strategy-driven, and (gasp) award-winning experiences with every team I’ve joined or developed. Take a look around. Questions, feedback, and meetups over a drink are all welcome.

I love developing ideas. Ideas that compel people to think the thoughts they can’t stop thinking.

Creative Campaign Umbrellas

I DON’T DO THIS FOR TITLES

I’m here to make things that move people.

I’m a creative director from the Midwest currently living in a place called Michiana which is where Michigan and Indiana hangout.

​

I started out with a degree in illustration and graphic design. Fast forward 10ish years, and now I'm a creative leader and product developer. After that I decided to lean into my passion and focus on my secondary education of design and innovation management. A few steps forward and I became a Creative Director working on brands from PayPal to Kellogg's. I still get jealous when I see brands engaging people in a unique way regardless of platform, and I’m driven to give marketing leaders that same jealousy.

​

I’ve gotten credit for my efforts from the Addys, the Trendys, and most importantly my teams. When I run out of ideas, you can find me listening to a podcast about rewatchable movies, throwing a disc, making a piece of art,  sketching out a tattoo for a friend, or repairing my body from a game of late night hockey. But you can find this mostly on LinkedIn (I’m not saying, but I’m just saying).

Hello! Let's work together.
