Graphic Designer in Costa Mesa, California

Design is useful before it is impressive.

I’m James, a graphic designer based in Costa Mesa. I currently plan and publish bilingual campaigns for 14 grocery accounts. Before that, I designed commercial real estate collateral, retail event campaigns, packaging, and brand systems. I start by asking what the piece needs someone to understand or do. Then I make the design earn its place.

About Me

The short version

I like assignments with real information, a real audience, and a deadline attached.

Where I’m From

I’m based in Costa Mesa, California, and come from a British and Persian family. That mix is part of who I am, on and off the page.

What I Do

I work across print, social media, advertising, packaging, and brand systems. InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop are the tools I use most.

How I Work

I find the hierarchy first: what someone needs to notice, what they need to know next, and what should happen after that. Then I refine the type, image, and production details until the piece holds together.
