art director: James Schuler
web designer: James Schuler
I learned HTML in the 90s working in the web development department at
a famous glass church in Garden Grove, CA, and have been in love with the
craft ever since. I now teach web design at CollegeAmerica, Denver cam-
pus. I’ve done websites for business and retail; churches and nonprofits;
real estate professionals and builders; movies and music.
I have a healthy dose of experience with an assortment of email marketing
programs and software, including CMS systems.
art director/designer: James Schuler
I’ve been designing for offset print operations since
the late 1980s. I’ve designed covers and layouts for
newspapers and magazines; business stationary and
packaging; specialty items and digital media; book
covers and workbooks; glass appliques and tradeshow
signage; posters and postcards.
One offset print operator said I’m the only designer
who doesn’t give him trouble with my files (that’s
because I don’t want to work twice).
I have 20 years experience setting up for different
bindery techniques, speciality printing involving
metallic inks, foils, embossing and dies.
My writing skills are such that I’m useful as a
proofreader/editor/copywriter. I don’t groan
when presented the opportunity to do more.

Commercial animation: writer, director, producer,
artist, audio designer, animator: James Schuler
I use traditional media such as pencil, paint,
watercolor, etc., in conjunction with high-tech media
using narrative techniques I learned in film school.
I really love what I do and am excited when I get to do
more. I sincerely hope I can help you create something
meaningful!
