I currently work with James on the SEGD Board of Directors. His role in this organization is vital as he is a true thought leader in our industry. He attacks every problem with great enthusiasm and rigor towards a solution. He thinks outside of the box and often brings a new approach to light. I highly recommend James Keppel.

Source: LinkedIn Gary Bennett Mar 17, 2015James was a pleasure to work with. He's the best kind of principal—one who takes care of the details while letting you work on the design. He has the ability to communicate his ideas well and challenge your design efforts while maintaining a positive and fun environment that results in more successful project outcomes. I would be happy to work with James in the future and highly recommend the opportunity to work with him.

He was instrumental in providing a design vision that also considered practical issues, such as maintaining a realistic budget.
Source: LinkedIn Greg Schott Feb 25, 2015James and his team worked with our firm to provide a high quality vision brochure for a development project we're working on. The results have been phenomenal and we're moving forward on the project in a tough economy, due in part to the creative talent and expertise interlaced into this document.
Source: LinkedIn Jered Morris Feb 25, 2015James was a pleasure to work with. Model making is a partnership which requires as much work from the client in making decisions as it does from the model makers who construct the product. James was committed to the success of the scoreboard model (see at http://archetype3d.com/blog/slapshot-he-scores/) and was always readily available to provide information and answer question.
Source: LinkedIn Craig Martin Mar 17, 2015Jim is one of the most professional project managers and business owners I've ever worked with. He is extremely technically adept and tends to the critical details while being highly sensitive to the design aesthetic and generating creative solutions. An excellent communicator, he utilizes the momentum of the project and keeps everything moving forward. Very few can do that successfully. Jim and his team can.
