Virginia Klamon

James provided creative support to our team of Seattle University coaches, enabling us to virtually introduce ourselves during this unprecedented pandemic. He edited our self-produced video clips into a coherent creative video montage and managed the project on-time and on-budget. He was engaging, professional, flexible and responsive . Thank you, James! Well done.
