James recently graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a BFA in Industrial Design.

“Balance gave me my start with an internship in my sophomore year at school. They provided me with real world knowledge and showed me the joy of designing collaboratively. Balance became the most valuable teacher during my time at school, so my transition to full-time designer felt seamless”

“I am interested in design as a process for solving a problem. Without first understanding the problem it becomes difficult to provide a responsible and successful solution so I dig as deep as I can to find multiple solutions. I apply this formula in every design avenue whether it is graphic, packaging, or product related.”
 
Outside of work James enjoys golfing, playing soccer, and working on the occasional painting.
