ABOUT

HI  I'M JAMES,

and I've been creative my whole life. I'm an artist / graphic designer, freelance video editor, travel lover, and founder of two creative businesses.
 

Originally from Melbourne, I studied Visual Communication Design before moving to London with a one-way ticket and a plan to pursue my creative career abroad. What began as a one-year plan turned into five, as London’s energy, and the excitement of exploring new cities across Europe, kept me endlessly inspired.

Wandering unfamiliar streets, admiring architecture, and soaking up new cultures became an addiction. These experiences sparked a creative shift that brought together my background in digital design and my love of travel.

Through my minimalist travel-inspired art, I capture that same sense of curiosity and wonder, whether it’s a faraway city that stole your heart or the place you proudly call home. Each piece is original, designed by my hands in Adobe Illustrator and printed locally in Melbourne to bring stories of place and memory into your everyday space.

Now back in Australia, I continue to rediscover its beauty with fresh eyes and a renewed creative energy. My prints, services, and projects — like reativ, my candle refill business — are all part of a growing studio practice built on intentional design, creativity, and connection.

With over 10 years' experience across post-production, branding, social media and digital design, I’ve had the privilege of working with global brands including Ant & Dec, Disney, Star Wars, 007, Mercedes F1, and Cricket Australia - delivering everything from content and campaigns to pitch materials and hype reels.

Whether you’re here to find the perfect print or collaborate on a creative project, thanks for stopping by. You can explore my shop, discover my creative self-care brand 'reativ', or get in touch about working together.
