Jim & I worked on the UnitedHealthcare campaign together. Jim was great to work with, easy going, and really brought a lot of great ideas to the table. I look forward to working with him again in the future!!

Jim really is a great designer/art director who’s got worldly experience and takes all his projects serious from beginning to end. His work is always clean, cutting edge and precise. He’s definitely the person to go to if you want all the benefits of a big time designer without any of the attitude.
