Hello!

I'm James, a design director from Dublin, Ireland, based in Boise, Idaho. I have over 20 years of experience spanning design, sales management, academic research, software innovation, and business development.
I'm a firm believer in the power and impact of purposeful design. Design is not just about aesthetics. I believe that good design is about how something works rather than how it looks.
I take pride in guiding clients away from 'surface traps,' ensuring we stay focused on the core of their business needs.
I work with individuals and businesses of all sizes and welcome a wide range of design challenges. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your project further.

Testimonials

I worked with James for over 10 years in Technological University Dublin. Not only does James have top class cross platform design skills, he also has a deep understanding of teasing out and determining client needs and capabilities. This was a critical skill to us in academia as it complimented the academic experts who are traditionally not enterprise facing and don't speak a commercial language. By being a bridge between these two worlds, he was extraordinarily effective at managing projects and delivering solutions on time and on budget. He was particularly skillful at developing proposals and writing reports that would meet both academic and commercial standards. This is a fairly unique skillset, in my opinion

He is also able to collaboratively work with some of the best content creators in the valley utilizing bits and pieces elsewhere, recognizing and introducing you to the talent of other professionals."
