Big James

Profile

I'm James, a 25 year old designer and graduate of NCAD, Ireland. As you can see from the photos I wear a lot of hats working as an interdisciplinary designer with a strong focus in the digital world, I base my practice on what best suits the message. Be that 3D, print, web-design, filmmaking or just a really big picture of me! I'm looking to create bold fun and deliver thoughtful experiences.

Beyond design I have a strong passion for politics, theatre and comedy. I think communication & understanding is such a rich part of the human experience and to be honest untapped. As a person I want to be that bridge. I'm never going to miss an opportunity to inject some fun into life. The most important thing really is making sure everyone is having a good time.

I'm also interested in world domination!
