Hi, I'm James! 👋
Product Designer & Manager with a knack for solving complex problems and a passion for making experiences smarter and better.
Born and raised in Bristol (South West UK), with a six-year detour to Ireland—my probable retirement spot when I make it! I’m a husband, dad to two wonderful little people, and an unapologetic boy band fan with objectively terrible music taste (which, somehow, I still don’t know the lyrics to).
My 14 year experience spans the public sector, where I’ve driven efficiency and digital transformation, and big tech, where I’ve led innovation in internal tooling for Trust & Safety teams, refined user support eco-systems for the biggest online platforms and transformed customer service support teams, processes and tools on a global scale.
I thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy—bringing intuitive solutions to complex challenges. I’m passionate about human behaviour, user experience, immersive technology, and the responsible use of AI to create smarter, safer, more impactful experiences.
At my core, I believe in people over pixels—crafting products that don’t just work, but truly make a difference!
