2026James Junk on why his graphic design “won’t save the world” – but it can centre emotion and humanity
The graphic designer and content creator James Junk took to the stage at November’s Nicer Tuesdays in LA to share the process behind multiple areas of his creative work with brands, sustainability, fashion design and social media work. Discussing how his “graphic design won’t save the world”, James tucks into how that’s besides the point – the most important part is centring human-scale moments and emotional responses to the world through design, from trans allyship to assault rifles bans.
