James Curcio

Despite past client work for international corporations, my passion for many years has been helping to create transmedia narratives with agile and independent teams—projects where innovation and collaboration come first.

This has led to work with emerging media and marketing trends including novels and non-fiction books, albums, podcast and audiobook series, web magazines / group blogs, apps and interactive media. Much of this work is distinguished by its signature aesthetic and irreverent style, and has been published by a number of independent presses.

Several of my books have been required reading for college level courses on the psychology of identity, philosophy and literature.

Software: Photoshop, Audition, Ableton, DP, Final Cut, XHTML & CSS, Office.
