THANKS FOR STOPPING BY

 

 

Hey there! I'm James -  a freelance Art Director, Motion Designer and Video Editor based in Johannesburg, SA. I help clients turn ideas into compelling visual stories that actually stick with people by creating animations that are bold, colourful, and memorable.

​

I believe effort matters if you want an audience to care. As a creative professional, I am exploring the capabilities and the limitations of AI. My goal is to use it with purpose and to give the results some friction so that the audience might actually feel something.

​

My aim is not to sell pixels, it's to sell real outcomes: clarity that cuts through the noise, reach that actually reaches, trust that builds brands, and conversions that drive engagement and revenue up.

​

I've worked on everything from high-end integrated campaigns and presentations for major brands to creating marketing collateral for a variety of SMEs and startups. Whether it's a boardroom pitch or a social media blitz, I've probably animated it.

​

 

HOW I WORK

​

​

I take responsibility for projects from concept development to the finish line, steering them toward high-quality deliverables that actually hit the mark.

​

If you need maximum ROI on every video project, I can meticulously track performance metrics and implement comprehensive social media strategies that move the needle.

​

When a project requires serious firepower, my network allows me to scale up and collaborate with highly creative talent from around the world.

​

I'm a friendly, collaborative, trustworthy creative who brings the right energy to make great work happen. I'm equally comfortable leading the creative charge as I am following your vision.
