James Dorondo
Creative
With over 15 years of creative experience, I have worked as a graphic designer, video editor, motion graphics artist, and senior creative lead in freelance and contract-based roles. My work has included overseeing graphic design, motion graphics, web design and development, and digital marketing initiatives.
The fast-paced and constantly evolving nature of modern marketing is a strong fit for my temperament and skill set. I bring a calm, solutions-oriented approach, strong critical thinking, and the ability to balance creative quality with timelines and budgets. I also communicate clearly with clients, collaborators, and stakeholders to keep projects aligned, address issues quickly, and ensure both the creative vision and functional goals are achieved.

I’ve been the creative lead and written many video productions, as well as trained staff in post production.

Illustrations
Illustrations
For illustrations I primarily use Adobe Illustrator and ProCreate. Keeping my workflow digital is faster and provides more options especially when on a deadline. One use of my illustration skills is to create storyboards for video productions.
Design
Design
Design is more than creating an attractive layout. It has to communicate the message and brand clearly and compel the audience to take the desired action. I strive to create designs that evokes an emotion.
