Thinking big picture. Sweating small details.
Hi! My name is James Bisch. I'm an independent creative director, art director and graphic designer based in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I'm big on developing visual communication strategies and design solutions that arrive at the intersection of clarity, craft and context and have received some industry recognition along the way. I've also spent some time as a college instructor.
I graduated with distinction from the Graphic Design program at Conestoga College in 2005 and have since gained over 16 years of experience thriving in fast-paced creative agency environments, and the portfolio works you're seeing here are reflective of that experience. I've worked on all manner of multifaceted projects, from concept to completion, both online and in print.
