my story began with a
deep fascination

I knew what I ultimately wanted to do in life had to have one criteria that sticks — Creativity. I was first drawn in by architecture when I took an ROP class during my last year of high school, and the idea of designing physical products that has a certain standard for aesthetics and functionality really intriqued me.

Lead Product Designer at Ultraviolet (formerly Octi)

James is a talented product designer who is always up for a challenge. Whether it’s improving an existing feature or designing a new feature from scratch, he excels at creating diverse design solutions centered around user research and business goals. James would be a great asset and team member for any design team.

VP of International Operations at Stansport and Pacific Play Tents

James is the whole package! We worked together on countless projects including packaging, labeling, embellishments, assembly instructions, user manuals, product design, booth design, and catalogs. He has advanced skills in design using Adobe products. James is organized and delivers within the given deadlines. He proactively steps up to take on projects and surprises me with professional looking work every time. At work he is a professional, mature, fun, and is always pleasure to work with. He works great in teams and independently and is highly productive working remotely as well. James creatively designs within the parameters of style guides and produces attractive content for small and large products, while meeting the legal requirements. Additionally, he is very familiar with the current packaging and labeling compliance content requirements for many product categories. Design is his strength!

Leader at UX Community Network

Working alongside James has been an absolute pleasure. His eagerness to learn and build elaborate interactions in his designs is truly impressive for someone with such a young career. He is always looking for ways to improve his work and takes a highly collaborative approach to problem solving. His dedication to his skills as a product designer is evident in the quality of his work, which is always polished. I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a passionate designer who is committed to delivering quality work.
