WHAT MY COLLEAGUES SAY

" In our time working together at Google, I found James to be independent, strategic, and highly effective at synthesizing a ton of inputs and feedback into a coherent, effective experience. He brought a thoughtful creativity to his approach, and had an ability to facilitate teams through a clear process. I'd recommend James to any organization that seeks the skill set of bringing calm clarity to the chaos of a product development program. "

" While James is a conceptual thinker, strategizing with the client and leading a team, he is also a doer, wireframing and creating decks that are beautiful and ready to go. On top of all this, James is a pleasure to work with—he’s funny, sharp and such a delightful person, you just want to bring him to every client meeting there is! "
