Testimonials

I’ve worked with many companies you have heard of, including Amazon, Grainger, Diapers.com, Humana, AMEX, State Farm, Harpo (yes, I met Ms. Winfrey), and AT&T. The company name recognition is nice, but what I take with me are the relationships built within the teams. The fact that people often want to work with me repeatedly is humbling and amazing.

Carlos Manalo

Co-CEO at The Office of Experience

James is one of those rare User Experience practitioners who brings more than just information architecture and user experience strategy to life.

He looks at an effort and scopes it according to the various players, stakeholders, constraints, and unique opportunities, and brings forth solutions and approaches that are spot on consistently and with a high degree of foresight and quality.

He understands the art and craft of experience architecture not just from a best practices standpoint, but holisiticaly; from both a facilitation standpoint, as well as purposeful innovation.

Jennifer Urban

Director Of User Experience at Ace Hardware Corporation

I had the pleasure of working with James for over a year at Grainger. During that year James and I worked together on a few projects. James and I were both lead user experience architects on the projects, James focused on the full site experience and I focused on the mobile experience. James is easy to collaborate with, thoughtful in his design approach, considerate when delivering feedback, and has a great sense on how to balance business priorities with usability. I would recommend James for any user experience project and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again.
