Ad Design

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

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.

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 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.

I have used Independent Studios several times on Projects. Clients would remark to me that they always appreciated that he seemed to read their mind and be able to formulate designs based on what they were trying to convey. Many of his designs even 5 years later are still viewed as fresh and great looking sites that look like the design was just made. I look very much forward to using his services again.

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.

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 solid creative professional with a wide range of skills and styles in his toolbox! He is a valued member on any team!

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.

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.

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.

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.

James has time and time again delivered excellant work. Professional graphics and can really see what the client wants. James had been invaluable to my business.

James has an amazing knack for nailing exactly what we want creatively. His vast knowledge of design and integration of web and social media has taken our organization well beyond anything we could have accomplished on our own.

James is an amazing artist with the ability to connect creativeness with communication and give the client EXACTLY what they want. If I ever need work done beyone my scope I contact James.

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.

Do not be deceived by James’ laid back approach, as he is no slouch. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find someone at his level of unparalleled creativity and heart for his work. Each time I work with James he is able to take a small, poorly thought out idea, and somehow magically turn it into an incredible, memorable, and beautiful (for a lack of better term) item. The attention to detail and superior results are well worth your time in contacting Mr. Gaffney.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with James Gaffney in 2000 while working with the Asheville Smoke hockey team. I enjoyed working with James as he was incredibly creative, highly communicative throughout any process that we were working on and the end result generated huge revenue for the hockey team. 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 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!!!
