Hey, I'm James.

Designing human-centered experiences for the age of AI

I'm drawn to clean, minimal interfaces, the kind that feel effortless to use. My design philosophy is simple: it should just work. At NCITE I'm building and leading the design for a nationwide K–12 risk assessment platform that will help protect schools across the nation. Previously, I designed visuals for major touring artists, learning to work quickly under pressure while maintaining quality.

I'm also researching how to design trustworthy and transparent agentic and autonomous systems exploring how we can make AI decision-making processes visible and understandable. When I'm not designing, you'll find me making coffee or spending time outdoors.
