A little bit about me
I'm James 👋🏻 - dad, designer and oxygen debt enthusiast. I'm sporty, more than a bit geeky and love both science and creativity.
At work, I'm most at home when tinkering with UI, conversing with users and collaborating with other passionate techie people to bring solutions to life.
I've been working in tech teams for over 12 years and promote design thinking and continuous discovery to help elevate products with exceptional UX.
I like to think carefully, listen closely and work with passion and focus on awesome projects. I like to be the champion of the best idea (which might not always been mine!). I value honesty, humility and introspection.
I'm a cat person and a dog person (and a dragon person 🐉) - just in case you were wondering.
