Creative Producer and senior-level Production Design Lead with award-winning execution across layout, typography, and brand systems. Known for driving cross-functional collaboration, high-performing teams, and end-to-end creative project delivery in fast-paced environments.

I am a versatile Creative Producer and Production Design Director with over a decade of experience delivering exceptional brand experiences and leading innovative creative teams. At Compass, I serve as Associate Production Design Director, where I oversee a talented international team and partner with senior leadership, including our CEO, to bring strategic marketing initiatives to life.

My role blends high-level creative direction with executional precision, managing campaign launches, multi-channel content, and cross-functional workflows across design, marketing, and content. From branding and luxury publications to systems-building and stakeholder engagement, I specialize in transforming big-picture ideas into cohesive, visually compelling narratives.

With deep expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, a passion for process optimization, and roots in advertising and production, I’ve designed national campaigns, created hundreds of TV and radio spots, and led the delivery of pixel-perfect, press-ready assets. I thrive where creative vision meets strategic execution, and where great teams come together to make it happen.

“I work closely with James on a daily basis and I can easily say that he makes the role of a Marketing Advisor easier in the Chicago region because of his ability to help out with all things design and production. James is willing and able to assist with all design related questions, which is so incredibly valuable to the team who oftentimes does not have the formal training to provide that insight.”
