"Jim has the ability to transform ideas into sellable, marketable, and usable ones. He also has the drive to pass over his knowledge by coaching/mentoring his teammates. My professional growth took a huge step forward because of it. In 1.5 years, Jim was able to teach me almost all the knowledge a UX designer would take to learn in 3 years."

“He is a great director and an outstanding mentor with rich experience. I have learned a lot of UX/UI skills from him. He taught me the importance of being thorough and making sure to design empty states and edge-case scenarios while wireframing. I also relearnt the user research stages of the design thinking process in a whole new way.”

"Jim is an incredible manager, coach, and mentor. He is a fantastic teacher and genuinely enjoys helping others develop into strong employees. He has a rare talent of gently guiding employees into making the right decisions by giving them the skills and confidence rather than blatant directions...Anyone would be lucky to have Jim as a manager and leader."
