Hey, I’m James. I’m a Sydney-based graphic designer with 4+ years of experience. I’ve worked with brands like Havaianas Australia and Stake, and I enjoy design across digital, print, type, motion, and photography. I love bold, experimental work as well as clean, minimal styles, and I’m drawn to work that not only looks good but also feels considered and functions well. I care about composition, making things feel right, and delivering high‑quality output with attention to detail. I’m a team player who values clear communication and collaboration, and I strive to create work that looks good and works properly in real-world contexts.
