James Atkins

Senior Design Director

For the past six years, James has helped build and strengthen brands through design.

With a passion for film and screenwriting, James marries his love of storytelling with design to develop strategic solutions for clients.

For you, what makes Lippincott a special place to work?

Our work is interdisciplinary by nature because of the scope of the projects, so I really enjoy the variety of things I get to do.

If you weren’t in this profession, what would you be?

I'd be a director, screenwriter, or a novelist.

Everything we see is designed, and all of it, good or bad, has something to teach you.

What’s your favorite place you’ve traveled to?

Homer, Alaska. The smaller airports up there don't have security, which makes you feel like you've slipped back in time.

What did school actually teach you?

I think what I actually learned in school was to pay attention to the world around me. Not just from a visual standpoint, but also from a philosophical viewpoint. Everything we see is designed, and all of it, good or bad, has something to teach you.

Who would you change places with for a day?

Ben Brode, former Game Director on the Hearthstone team. It'd just be great to know how that guy thinks.
