I’ve spent more than 25 years telling visual stories—moving between motion design, animation, video, graphic design, 3D, and mixed‑media without missing a beat. I love taking complex ideas or technical products and turning them into clear, engaging visuals that actually make sense to people. I’m comfortable running a project from the first sketch and storyboard all the way through production and final delivery, working with teams, keeping quality high, and staying calm when everything is moving fast. I work deep in Adobe Creative Cloud, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, and a growing set of AI‑assisted workflows. Along the way, I’ve picked up a Regional Emmy and built a reputation for polished, high‑impact creative work.
Every project. Without fail.
Every successful project starts with genuine, attentive listening.

I had the pleasure to work with James at Poly and he has always been very responsive and skilled at both animation and renderings. James has a keen eye and attention to detail. He always kept a calm demeanor amidst some tight deadlines and launch schedules. James came up to speed quickly and always asked good questions. I would recommend James to offer his skill set to any company - large or small
Barbara Benard
Project Manager - Poly
The dedication and profound work ethic that James has brought to my team has proven to match his skills and knowledge as a digital renderer, illustrator and animator. He approaches each job, large or small, with the same curiosity and interest in delivering the best work he can without fail. James takes direction and feedback with aplomb and when necessary will counter with knowledgeable solutions to achieve the perfect outcome. He is always available for learning, expanding his abilities and also keeps up with trends and technology. It is a pleasure working with him and this is a resounding sentiment amongst my immediate group as well as the greater marketing organization — he is an invaluable team member and I highly recommend him.
