ABOUT

HI  I'M JAMES,

an artist, 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 stint turned into five, as London’s energy, and the ease of exploring new cities across Europe, kept me endlessly inspired.

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

Through my travel prints, 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 designed by hand in Adobe Illustrator and printed locally on textured fine art paper 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 refillable candle brand — 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 Disney, Star Wars, Mercedes F1, and Cricket Australia - delivering everything from content and campaigns to pitch materials and motion graphics.

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 reativ, or get in touch about working together.
