Hello there!
I’m Jim Lightcap, a creative spirit who loves to solve problems. Every project gives me an opportunity to magnify a brand’s voice, and challenge myself in new ways. I love how advertising allows me to constantly learn new skills, stay up to date with latest design trends, and look for new ways to push the envelope while staying true to a brand’s identity.
