Jim is a gifted, versatile & experienced designer. I’ve worked closely with him on many projects including consumer and enterprise products, design systems, brand identities, websites, mobile apps and corporate communications. His ability to craft user experiences and visually communicate complex ideas clearly, creatively and with impact is exceptional.

But he’s not only a super-skilled craftsperson. He’s also a strategic thinker and collaborative peer to business, product and engineering leaders, and a supportive and inspiring partner and mentor to other designers.
