I'm James Butler. I'm a graphic designer born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I think this city is pretty amazing, and I am committed to helping it continue to be beautiful. I'm constantly inspired by its people and their ability to create.
Starting my career ago as a builder and fabricator for custom architectural pieces for retail and office spaces, I gained a unique perspective for how to design a better product. Since then, I have done a range of work from package and print design, branding, signage and wayfinding design, and web design. I am passionate about telling stories through design, and helping to create environments.
I currently work at a firm called Arcturis, a multi-disciplinary, collaborative design firm, where I work on a wide variety of projects. One day, I will be working on brand development or creating branded environments alongside interior designers, and then the next, I'll hop over to logo design, or development for a signage and wayfinding package. I love working with clients and helping the people and their businesses bloom into something beautiful. I am passionate about seeing my ideas come to life into something that has form an dimension.
Complementing my passions for design, other things that motivate me are traveling, trying new foods and restaurants, all things St. Louis, campfires, camping, dabbling in film photography, and drinking coffee. I would love to connect and get to know more about you! Please shoot me a message, and let's grab coffee.
