Creative Director.
Writer.
Comedian.
James Kuo is an award-winning creative director, writer and comedian. He specializes in leading creative teams that turn complicated topics like medicine, politics, and technology, into simple, human, and funny stories.
Right now, he’s working at 21Grams as an SVP Creative Director, overseeing the creative work for multiple major healthcare brands.
Before that, he honed his skills writing jokes at The Colbert Report and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
He doesn’t do it for the awards, but he has a couple, so it’d be a waste to not mention them. His work has earned him two Peabody awards, Clio Health awards, D&AD Pencils, Cannes Lion shortlists, multiple Webby’s, and EMMY nominations.
In his extra time, he enjoys hanging out with his dog Suzy, taking photos (you can see some of his work in the photography section of this website) and developing an animated series with his writing team that they optioned to Disney Animation.
Suzy! Seen here modeling her raincoat/wondering if she can catch that bird.
