About James

I’m a motion art director and designer with 16 years of experience bringing ideas and visual identities to life through motion, 3D, and design. I started my career in broadcast before moving into freelance work and eventually joining Siegel+Gale, where I collaborate closely with creative directors and designers to develop motion that is purposeful, simple, and connected to the brand.

I’m especially drawn to projects involving technology and engineering. I enjoy building things from scratch - whether that’s designing a 3D environment, figuring out how a machine should move, or finding the right piece of music to bring an idea together.

When I’m not making things move, I’m usually traveling or out photographing wildlife.
