About James
I was an experience design practitioner for 10+ years, creating systems and platforms for startups, accounting firms, sports leagues, and financial services companies. My background in art history and my visual thinking capabilities helped me structure and tell effective stories around digital experiences, their users, and their goals to stakeholders and senior leaders, culminating in an Executive Directorship at JPMorganChase. Now I'm looking to help others on their design paths as they cultivate their design eyes and voices. I can help you work on a case study, improve your design portfolio, practice a design presentation, work through a complicated experience design problem, or be a listening ear to your professional self. I can also help you navigate a career transition, whether it be going from individual contributor to management, or from design to another discipline, or if you're exiting design and need reassurance.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I want to help others make the most of their talents and skills in their professional setting, and help them see that the tools they need to succeed are very much within reach. I greatly benefitted from coaches and mentors in the past and they pushed me to new heights in my design career, and now I want to pay it forward so others can thrive.
