Hey! I'm James.

I'm a Lead Product Designer, making tools for UX research at Optimal Workshop. I work closely with product managers and engineers to research, design, and ship new things to make research easier for people.

In my spare time, I can be found finding sounds with synthesizers, making visual art, and riding my gravel bike!
