About Jim McGregor:

I am a graphic designer, animator, illustrator and musician with over 10 years of agency/studio experience in the creative industry. I have worked as an artworker, journalist, a graphic-novel artist, an advertising designer, motiongraphic artist and a director of my own studio. I have designed and created hundreds of books, brochures, marketing elements, logos, illustrations, animations, and more for various clients and publications. I am passionate about design, art, illustration, and creative writing. I constantly hone my skills through learning new technology and software, and I enjoy keeping up-to-date with industry trends. I have also worked on dozens of music projects as a session musician.
I have a great eye for detail, a good sense of humour, a zest for life, and a love of animals. I thrive in deadline-driven environments and enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to learn new skills and exchange ideas. I also believe in people-before-profits.
