Comic art
From comic books to art books and collectibles, I love the artwork and creativity behind them.
Getting to know me
A little more
about me
I’m James, a product design leader working across customer experiences, team development and design systems. I stay close to the craft and enjoy helping people make sense of complex problems.
How I lead
I guide about 20 designers across four teams, setting direction, giving feedback and mentoring them day to day. I've line managed designers in the past, and I still support their development.
Across product journeys and the central design system, I work with Brand, Product and Engineering to turn customer needs and shared standards into clear direction, reusable components and consistent guidance.
“He’s also a brilliant mentor, generous with his time and knowledge, whether he’s supporting junior designers or talking things through with experienced peers.”
Interests
Outside work
Outside work, you’ll usually find me gaming, exploring comic art or getting lost in the world of Star Wars. I love discovering new places, meeting creative people and sharing the things I’m passionate about.
Conventions
I love visiting conventions, discovering new artwork and meeting the artists behind it.
Star Wars
From the films to the games, it’s a universe I never get tired of exploring.
Gaming
From story-driven video games to board games and tabletop adventures, I love getting lost in a good game.
