Since the early 99’s and the 2000’s, James has been both a creator and an appreciator of art. They were expressive creatively as a child, and after graduating high school, they attended the Illinois Institute of Art where they studied Fashion Design. From there they went on to learn and practice photography. After dipping their toes in the former two art forms, James took up designing jewelry and eventually painting. Then painting turned into working with new mediums like resin, cement, and clay to make home goods.

Little did they know, the many trades developed throughout the years would birth—James Of All Trades.

From their home base of Oakland California, all forms of art are handmade with purpose and intention. While running their business as a one person team is exciting, they have a seven year old tenacious daughter, a 3 month old baby, and a sweet Pitbull that help with the creative process.
