Who I Am

James Stanley

I'm a multidisciplinary creative with over 15 years of experience in graphic design and visual communication, with 7 years specializing in the employee benefits industry. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring discipline, precision, and strong attention to detail to every project I work on.

I'm particularly skilled at transforming complex benefits information into clear, professional, and visually engaging materials. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring my benefits design experience to the Higginbotham team.
