Hi,I'm James
I’m a web designer based in Sydney, Australia. I am passionate about design and visual expression is an important part of my life. I love the gammut of design that spans from fashion to hand coding semantic, standards compliant code.
Relatively new to the medium, i have worked with a number of large organisations including General Pants, Ksubi, VB beer and the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
When i'm not catching a healthy computer tan i can be found trying to get myself closer to a mountain to snowboard down.
Skills, passion, determination & a love for design
Skills
Primarily a web designer, i enjoy both sides of the craft that varies from creating purely visual designs to writing standards driven, semantic XHTML and CSS. Above all of this, strong visual communication is at it’s heart.
- Standards driven, semantic XHTML & CSS
- Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash
- Video editing and visual effects (basic)
Clients
Working in an agency environment for a little over a year i have had the fortune to work with some interesting clients along with a challenging array of internal projects. Here’s a short list of the types of clients & markets i’ve worked with:
- Fashion (Ksubi, General Pants)
- Corporate (Oil Search, Tesco)
- Sports and locals (Souths, City of Port Phillip)
Projects
Given the chance, i enjoy the challenge of working on variety of projects requiring differing skills and strategies. I like to work with a rigorous process to try to consistently represent and produce the goals of a project. Some examples include:
- Front end Web Design (Design & code)
- Flash design & animation
- Video projects (inc visual effects)
