SKILLS
ABOUT JAMES K.
I would not define myself as an educator; I also learn from my students. Theoretically and practically, I am a critical thinker skilled in print and digital media, but those are not my end goals. I continually learn from diverse perspectives and am interested in multidisciplinary fields, gaining insights from various areas. I graduated with honours from Pratt Institute, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communications Design (focus on Graphic Design and Art Direction) and Master of Fine Arts in Design from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. With years of design experience, I have held positions as a freelance designer, senior designer, art director, creative director, and design director in New York City and Toronto. At Design Platform, I specialize in high-level visual communication design and strategic problem-solving initiatives for clients. I have also collaborated with esteemed design studios in Toronto, Canada. Previously, I served as a Director on the Board of Directors and held positions on the Certification Committee, the Design Portfolio Review Committee, and the Mentorship Program at the Association of Registered Graphic Designers, Canada. My design expertise encompasses various areas in print and digital media: Art Direction and Visual Communication Design Book Design Brand/Visual Identity Digital Design Editorial Design Exhibition Design Film and Digital Photography Film and Motion Graphics Graphic Design Information Graphic Design Interaction Design/Interactive Media Research for Designers: Methods and Practice Signage and Environmental Graphic Design Typography User Experience/User Interface Design I am a partial-load professor, and my teaching expertise encompasses a range of courses at the University of Guelph-Humber, Sheridan College, Humber Polytechnic, and Seneca Polytechnic (Ontario, Canada): Art Direction and Design Production Collaborative Workshop Design Business and Management Design Strategy for Computation Digital Graphic Design Editorial Design Graphic Design Interaction Design Portfolio Project Interaction Design Thesis Introduction To Conceptual Process for Interaction Design Media Technology Portfolio Project Professional Design Business Practices, Interaction Design Project Management in Interactive Media Research and Planning (Interactive Media/Interaction Design/User Experience Design) Studio Methods Two-Dimensional Design: Typography and Image Typography User Experience and User Interface Design Visual Design and Rhetoric Visualizing Information: Data Web Design
