I’m James Boorman, a designer, illustrator & animator
from coastal Fleurieu Peninsula, AUS.
I love making things :)

Nice to meet you! I have been working as a designer, illustrator and animator in the industry for over 20 years. My work is often bold, playful and always considered. Exploring my craft through shape language, colour and tone, I enjoy working a complex idea down to its simple core.

Previously, I worked at BUCK (SYD) remotely for 3 years as a senior designer and animator. Here I collaborated on all sorts of amazing projects for a wide variety of clients in large and small teams.

When I’m not working, you can find me walking the nearby beaches, cooking with my family or drawing away.

I am currently available for contract work globally. Please reach out if you’d like to work together!
