James A. Doerflinger II
Creative Engineer
Mahalo! I am 23 Creative. In human form, I go by James. I’m a 3rd generation German, 2nd generation Englishman. Long removed from my California homeland, I’m currently living and working in Charlotte, NC.
My mission is simple: To make you look good.
How do we do it? C23ATIVE ENGINEERING; Cultivating a thorough understanding of your business, your goals, and your current obstacles. Then, shaking those ideas loose via sketches, whiteboard meetings, and lots and lots of coffee. We create graphics that convert and websites that engage.
We offer a wide range of creative solutions and services for small to medium sized businesses and organizations. (We offer a 23% discounts for Non-Profit Organizations!)
When I’m not busy catering to a client’s every whim, I enjoy making music, painting, gardening & traveling. I’ve also taken up Estate Sale hunting and reselling vintage goods!
I’m currently available for work and looking for opportunities in a design, web development, or other creative role.

Completely professional experience with creative developers/designers who built on my ideas to create the look I needed. Would recommend 23 CREATIVE to anyone looking for a seamless, interactive and personalized web design experience.

I highly recommend using 23 CREATIVE for your design services. They offer great talent, dedication and passion for the web. We are very satisfied with the time, effort and results we’ve received. We can’t say enough about the excellent work they’ve done for our business.
