Program Director at GSD
“I had the pleasure of working with James for three years. He's a very talented designer with a sharp eye for both aesthetics and user experience. He contributed significantly to our design system, elevating it to a whole new level-it became much more robust, user-friendly, and visually appealing thanks to his work.
James approaches every project with structure and logic, consistently delivering designs that make a real impact on users. On top of that, he's simply a great person-thoughtful, approachable, and always offering valuable feedback. It was a joy working with him.”
