Best Coffee in Asheville!

James is a highly talented Graphic Designer and solutions provider. He has the great ability to listen to his clients and come up with solutions that work.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with James on several projects. He does a great job of combining fun and functional for web interfaces.

James is an intense design professional. He is creative, inventive and fast. He has done work for me many times and the results are always brilliant.

I hired James to create a logo for my company. He went the extra mile to deliver exactly what we were looking for, on time and with great results. Hire him, you’ll be happy you did.

You will not be disappointed with any design James creates for you. Over and over again during the past twelve years of our professional relationship I have been pleased and completely satisfied with the quality and creative nature of design and work by James. This man is a gifted, imaginative, creative design specialist.

When I opened my business up in 2005 I immediately thought of James. He created a logo for me that depicted all that I wanted it to. I would recommend James and Independent Studios to absolutely anyone that I speak to. He is amazing, creative, great sense of humor, punctual, trustworthy and highly respected in his industry. Thank you James for EVERYTHING!!! Even if we are 3000 miles apart I would use you over and over again.

James always delivers amazing end results. His creativity and ability to put all the pieces of the puzzle together are really hard to find in the design world. We have hired him on numerous projects and have been thrilled will with the final product each and every time.

I asked James to help me design a new look for my business cards, which he did, but beyond that his work was so impressive that he unwillingly transformed the look and feel of my entire organization. I cannot thank him enough for his creative talent, his listening ear(s), and his ability to capture the essence of what I wanted and actually make it happen. There is a chance he is a wizard.

James has been a pleasure to work with at FastPivot. He puts together great graphics for the company as well as for our clients and has been a dedicated member of our team for many years.

James is that unique person who can combine excellent design/artistic skills to create beautiful graphic images – while at the same time, can pay attention to mundane business issues like meeting deadlines, always working to satisfy clients, etc etc Highly recommended.

James is simply the best graphic designer there is. If you are fortunate enough to work with James, you will not regret your decision.

James is a super-creative, talented artist that has a great eye for clean, functional design, whether it is in advertising art or websites. I have worked with him on a couple of projects, and I found that he does great work. He is insightful, patient, and listens well, and I find that this helps him develop solutions that are responsive to his customers’ needs.

When the Asheville Smoke Pro Hockey team hired James to design and launch its new website, and lay out all of the organization’s media guides and programs, he came to us more creative ideas than we could have even imagined. He routinely went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure each job was done to our complete satisfaction. I have since moved on to a new company and have plans to start other projects on the side, and when I am in need of graphic design work he’ll be the first person I consider.

James is creative, knowledgeable, always has a great sense of humor and has the ability to help a “non-techie” understand the process. James is a favorite!

I’ve had the privilege of knowing James both professionally and personally for a number of years now. Professionally, he’s saved my derriere on more than one occasion, and I’m always impressed with his work and its perfect blend of skill and creativity. As a friend attending the same church, I’ve watched James and his family give of their time and talent time and again for the common good. And as a father, I’ve respected his seemingly innate ability to handle the toughest job of all — being a dad — and doing it incredibly well.

I was looking for unique creative ideas and graphics that would catch potential client’s attention and draw them to my business; James delivers all that and more, every time. Great work, highly recommended!

A healthy balance of left and right brain activity produces great results when marketing (ex. art and science). James walked the line and stayed committed, often spending more time than was expected to “get it right”. Great value and high integrity should not be overlooked…you will find both with James. I will use him again.

Over the past decade I have had the opportunity to work with James on a number of projects. Each time he was able to deliver results that far exceeded our expectations. Whether it was the redesign of our professional hockey logo or developing marketing materials with Ford/Wayne Gretzky, the results were always the same – excellent! James brings a unique sense of humour and creativity to the table on each and every project that he takes on. An absolute pleasure to work with.

James is a highly inventive and very talented graphic designer. His ability to use his knowledge and talents acquired over the years have been very helpful to our organization. I would recommend James to anyone looking for professional assistance with graphic design especially as it relates to establishing or enhancing your Web presence. Michael Huffstutler Photomaps USA
