About

I'm James. I work with clients to research problem spaces and capture user needs before prototyping and defining digital solutions.
Observation and evidence drive creativity.
Research is the foundation. It reveals opportunities and reduces project risk.

Innovation starts with people, not technology.
Focus on positive user outcomes - not a specific technology - to ensure positive business outcomes.
