    Hello. My name is James, and my purpose is to create beautiful experiences for the world to enjoy.

    My passion is helping small creative teams to do amazing work. I do this primarily by listening closely and asking a lot of questions in order to understand the needs of the team/client/project. Then I do whatever it takes to meet those needs, including learning any new skills that might be required, and getting help when necessary. I did this quite often while running my latex fashion business. Over the last ten years I learned quite a bit about design, branding and photography, as well as more esoteric skills like sales, communicating with clients, managing employees and building company culture. I wasn’t awesome at all those things (particularly the latter ones), but I did pick up a few tricks. Now that my company is closed and I’m looking for new creative opportunities, I would be happy to put those tricks to use for you, and learn a couple of new ones along the way.
