James Morris
All design should tell a story. Whether establishing/maintaing a corporate brand, preserving the character of a historic building, or by conveying a particular feeling in a space. My passion is to find that story. It can be found in new construction’s clean slate, or in maintaining the authenticity, and integrity of original construction. All stories should have a happy ending and all spaces should be a beautiful inviting environment.

I was a Jr. Designer in the Religious Studio working on projects both national, and international. I also managed the materials library, which consisted of coordinating and maintaining vendor relationships and appointments. While there I had exposure to hospitality and tenant improvement projects.
I played a key roll as a lead design in the development of over all look and feel of all stores, both national and international. Also helped develop working displays for our wholesale devision.
