“Big Ideas”
Jim is a talented and energetic Art Director who’s positive attitude is infectious. He is enthusiastic for his craft and has a great eye, big ideas and carries them out with meticulous detail. This really shines through when you see the finished product, it’s a work of art. I’d work with Jim again in a heartbeat.

“Exceptional asset”
Jim’s attention to detail and desire to solve creative challenges both conceptually and pragmatically make him an exceptional asset to any project. He is equal parts strategic thinker and artist (and, most importantly, a great guy to work with).

“Tasty”
Jim is a pleasure to work with. Collaborative but also capable of taking a project from start to elegant finish. A very strong skill set and a tasty AD to boot.

“Delights and surprises”
Jim is a great Art Director who delights and surprises clients with creative solutions that are consistently on brand and, at the same time, out of the realm of the expected. Importantly, he has a strong appreciation for strategy. He’s not to be overlooked, a lot of fun to work with.

“Dynamic and relevant”
Jim Keller is one of the most dynamic and relevant Art Directors I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
His interest and expertise across multiple creative disciplines make him an asset to any client. From classic book design, to advertising campaigns, to digital interface, to contemporary fashion, Jim digs deep to find the appropriate solution to the assignment, with award-winning results.
He brings his New Yorker attitude and creativity to the table balanced with west coast cool. He’s fun. Hire him.

“Always on his game”
Jim is one of the best I’ve worked with. There is a sophistication to his work, but also an edge. I think this unique perspective comes not only from his breadth of experience, but also from his interest in art, music, photography, and what’s happening in our culture.
Always on his game, always pushing to do better, Jim brings a refreshing integrity, both personal and professional, to the work and the AD role. He’s also just a great guy and a lot of fun to work with.
If you need a seriously good Art Director, Jim is your guy.

“A true talent”
What I like most about Jim is his way of looking at things. Not sure if it’s because he’s from NY, but he always manages to find a fresh perspective and aesthetic with everything he does. He’s an extremely hard worker, a true talent and all around great guy.
James Filbry, Art/Creative Director
“Great partner”
Jim and I worked together on a few projects as freelancers but one would have thought that we were a team for quite some time. Jim is easy-going, easy to work with and super talented. He is meticulous and very detailed. Not to mention funny!
He challenges conventional wisdom and challenges himself. He’s very unassuming and humble in his ways. No ego what so ever! His ideas are fresh, his art direction cool and he makes a great partner, colleague, freelancer or CD.
We had fun times together while creating great campaigns.
Rael Tooch, Creative Director/Writer
“Fun and clever”
Jim is an extraordinary designer, he has the ability to take the mundane and make it compelling. I really enjoyed Jim’s talent to create design that is fun and clever, while serving the best interests of the clients.
