Miss my 🌐 old site? Here you go.
I like to call services, solutions because that’s what they are. A client (you, if you nasty like that) and I aren’t serving anything; we’re finding and creating solutions more like. Here are some of ‘em.

↳ Art & Creative Direction, Social Design, Illustration, Web Design, Poster Design, Motion, Video Editing & Production, Visual & Brand Identity, Printed Matter, Packaging, Emails, Copy & Wordplay, Content Creation, Social & Creative Strategy.



And here are some things I GAF about when it comes to my work and collaborations.

↳ Playfulness
↳ Flexibility
↳ Chemistry
↳ Goodness


And, at the risk of this page being copy-heavy, here are 5 reasons why I started James Junk.

① People let their fear of failure stop them from experimenting;
② Design isn’t as inclusive and playful as it could be;
③ There are infinite good, fun ideas that deserve consummation;
④ We need to design a world that reflects the world we want to live in;
⑤ I was under lockdown languish lunacy.

You and I may be a match if 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 you care about more than the pixels on the design — are ready to invest effort upfront to save time later — have a fun brain and even funner ideas. Let’s go 📠.
