Hey there.


I’m James Edward Bonilla, an art director and designer who operates where intuition and reason mingle.

From brand systems to holistic campaigns, I create honest and visually enriching solutions that benefit others.

Some important things.


I studied at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, where I received my BFA in Graphic Design. I’m currently available for freelance or full-time opportunities. 

In my spare time, I compose music under the moniker Absent Host, write stories, and watch films with the sound turned off.
