I still cannot believe this actually happened… The brilliantly creative and nicest human James Martin, co-founder of Creative and Animation studio Baby Giant Design Co, and, of course, his personal brand Made By James, is on Joke’s Joyful Journey! Waaahhh! Pinch, pinch eh!
As an agency owner, logo and brand identity designer, invigorator, and educator, James helps creatives on their path to greatness. And wow, does he know his stuff! In our wonderful chat, James talks about offering an honest voice in the current loud world, Social Media, how everybody is a Multipotentialite to some extent, and about the willingness to commit to your creative career.
His awesome career has been over 20 years in the making, with winding roads and a ton of experience. So James definitely knows what it takes and it is so great that James is leaning into the educational space and sharing his knowledge and wisdom with the world. It has been very humbling and lots of fun talking to James.
The gems James is dropping in this episode are simply marvelous. Topics like happiness, success, the design world, distractions, trend hopping, and having many ideas.. need I say more?

I thought I’d give a go at animating James’s quote, as a little ‘hi’ to his animation studio ?
Of course, it’s nowhere near his studio’s animation awesomeness but I put my effort in. And effort is free ☺️
