JAMES COTE

From creating lyric videos in Windows Movie Maker on his family’s shared desktop to 3D modeling large-scale buildings at an architecture firm, design has always been part of James Cote’s life. Now finishing his graphic design education at Southern Maine Community College, he specializes in branding, creating visual systems that are flexible, purposeful, and tell a story.

Cote believes that strong design should be both visually appealing and pragmatic. His work aims to communicate ideas clearly while staying adaptable, ensuring that each project not only looks good but sticks in the minds of its audience. When he’s not designing, he’s usually wrangling his cat, Leeb.
