James Kelly is an Alaskan artist, full-time career firefighter, part-time designer, and full-time dad of two. He grew up in Nome and Ketchikan, went to college in Fairbanks, and missed Southeast Alaska so much he came back and settled in Juneau.

James has always loved stickers he just hated that none of them could survive real life in Alaska. Between soaked Nalgenes, sideways rain, and vehicles that never actually dry, most stickers didn’t stand a chance. So naturally, he decided to fix that.

After a few cups of coffee, and absolutely no tolerance for cutting corners Decaffeinated Designs was born and has been going strong for 15 years. These stickers are waterproof, weatherproof, and tough enough to survive Alaska, kids, firehouse abuse, and whatever else life throws at them.

When he’s not on shift or chasing kids around the house, James runs his part-time design business creating funky, bold, waterproof stickers built to last. His designs are made to be used, abused, and loved, just like the Alaskan lifestyle that inspired them.
