THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
Hi, I'm James. I'm a freelance Art Director, Motion Designer and Video Editor based in Johannesburg, SA.
I help clients turn ideas into compelling visual stories by creating animations that are aesthetic, effective and memorable. I 've worked on a range of high-end briefs, from fully integrated campaigns, presentations and pitches for major brands, to creating marketing collateral for a variety of SME's and startups.
​
I am focused on bold and colourful design and have a passion for making information come to life through the use of powerful, engaging visuals.

​
HOW I WORK
​
​
My versatile background and 15+ years of experience working in the creative industry enables me to help clients with a broad range of services. I can take responsibility for projects from concept development to the finish line, steering projects toward high-quality deliverables. My expertise includes art direction, illustration, motion design, video editing and sound design.
​
I always work with a hands-on mentality and when a project requires it, my extensive network allows me to scale up and collaborate with highly creative talent from script writers, illustrators and animators to final mix engineers.
​
I strive to add value to any project, and am just as happy to take initiative when working alone as I am in taking direction when working in a team. I am friendly, collaborative and energetic.
