Recommendations 🧑‍💼

His strength in UX/UI, systems-thinking, and collaboration with designers/stakeholders helped us exceed our goals last year in unifying our health services email notifications at CVS. As James’s manager at CVS, I have observed James’s high-quality contributions, his drive to continue growing as a design leader, and his ability to help our team become more efficient.

-DS, Manager

James is one of the most thoughtful and intentional people I’ve had the pleasure of calling my teammate. His approach always begins with setting a clear goal and thinking through “the why” of any project he takes on. His patience and wealth of knowledge make him a valuable, grounding asset to any team while his forward-thinking helps elevate brands in refreshing ways.
