About

Hi, I’m James. I’m a design student and musician from Hamilton, NZ. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Design at the University of Waikato, with a focus on Communication Design and a Minor in Media Design. I’ve spent several years in church music ministry, learning piano, collaborating with others, and serving as an interim music leader.

Beyond design, I’ve gained practical experience in hospitality and retail, including a role at McDonald’s Hamilton East, where I worked as crew member and trainer. I enjoy exploring the intersection of creativity and technology, and I’m excited to bring energy and curiosity to new projects.
