James Andrew Thai
I am James Thai, a distinguished textile designer and visionary leader from the Bay Area. My career in surface design, marked by innovative leadership and creative direction, took root following my graduation from the Academy of Art University. I bring a meticulous and innovative approach to design, a discipline I have directed with passion and expertise. My unique specialization in leather-burned textile work, a testament to my directorial vision, garnered significant attention and led to my celebrated debut at the Academy of Art's Fall 2013 Show.
As a leader in the field, I have continually pushed the boundaries of textile artistry with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to exploring diverse aspects of surface design. My journey has led me to a notable leadership role as a Women's Textile Manager at Joe Fresh, a leading Canadian retailer, and Associate Director at Pair Eyewear. I exercise my directorial skills here to innovate and elevate the brand's design offerings. At the heart of my work lies a dedication to quality, innovation, and strong leadership. I welcome you to explore my world!
