Bio
Nick Stragnell
James is an excellent UX researcher and designer, consistently delivering insightful recommendations to the business, with a very 'user friendly' approach. James knows exactly how to pitch his findings to different stakeholders, making his research and recommendations actionable, that's a real skill. A pleasure to work with.
Justin DeKoszmovszky
Working with James at OVO Energy for two years I am convinced he can do everything. James brings creativity and serene confidence to the projects and teams he works on and a caring exigence for quality that always delivers very high quality work. From his documentary films to the brand work we did together at OVO, James has demonstrated not only a keen interest in sustainability, but also a unique ability to synthesize and translate its complexity for mainstream audiences via compelling stories, elegant design and quality deliverables. I can’t wait for the next time I get to work with him!
Eric Brünjes
James and I worked closely together on "La Bella Figura" (2007). James made life very easy for all the cast, crew and team by being very approachable, professional and good company. His professional skills are plainly obvious to see, in particular his acute attention to details. Expert in all ways! A pleasure!
