    "James is one the best UX practitioners I have ever worked with, and one of few who shows both a genuine passion for his work and for customers' experiences. For James, UX is clearly not just a day job, but an inspiration, and this is something that was widely respected and recognised whilst James worked in my team.

    I would highly recommend James to any organisation and would love to work with him again."

    Stuart French - UX General Manager, Telstra Digital (2014)

    "James was instrumental in being able to bring the requirements to life, primarily through introducing the team and stakeholders to user centric design principles and tools, but also by quickly becoming a valuable and essential member of the team, lending expertise in a number of areas.

    James' designs were subsequently implemented into production, and now are being used by over five thousand Bankers at Westpac."

    Jon Chung - Program Director, Westpac (2013)
