James Sismanes is an audio and visual storyteller from Melbourne, Australia. A small business owner by day (ImagiWorks Agency, Vision One Technologies) and a full-time creative by night, James is a multi-dimensional make-believer and dreamer of the (almost!) impossible. With over 400+ sales on the acclaimed AudioJungle marketplace, a debut novel (The Art of Being Jonny) and a business portfolio consisting of small business re-brands and AV tech integration, James is always on the hunt for the next “big idea.”

James’ debut publication (The Art of Being Jonny) is available now from Amazon, Book Depository, Booktopia, Barnes & Noble and all major book stores.
When he’s not writing, producing, designing, sales-pitching and daydreaming like a world-saving superhero, James enjoys eating cheeseburgers and chicken parmigianas, conquering Xbox tournaments, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S re-runs, catching Pokémon and dealing with the heartache of being a Barça and Cleveland sports fan.
