I design interfaces to solve user and business problems, with a focus on design system, mobile and web applications
I value simplicity in design by empathizing with business and user needs into innovative solutions.
I love art, travel and can speak up to 5 languages. Recently started practicing Kendo 🇯🇵

I've had the pleasure of working with James for the past two years, and it has been a highly positive experience. He has a remarkable talent for visual design and branding, truly grasping the essence of the brand and bringing it to life.
James embraces new challenges with a positive attitude and unwavering determination. If you have the chance to work with him, consider yourself fortunate!
James effectively balances immediate solutions with the need for comprehensive design cycles in product development. This approach enables teams to quickly address the most critical issues.
I was particularly impressed by his talent for fostering strong internal relationships with engineers, encouraging open communication and collaboration across functions.
James played a crucial role in launching two products at Nanoleaf, including our first-generation entertainment product. He contributed to designing the control interfaces in the Nanoleaf app.
Known for his collaborative spirit, James is always eager to help. Plus, his dog Kuma adds an extra layer of positivity to the team! 😊
