UX Designer and Engineer
in Austin, Texas
Hi there,
I enjoy doing product design, user research, workshop facilitation, and web development for the Growth Team at Pingboard. Before that, I was helping IBM elevate the quality of design across business units.
Poster.Party was my first personal start-up. It was a community and marketplace for collectors of limited edition prints. I have since disabled the marketplace-aspect to focus on a new idea.
Sincerely,
James
