David James
{UI Designer / UX Professional / Innovation Catalyst}
A little bit about me..
I am a senior UX designer with 10+ years of professional experience in leading and managing teams with a focus on the humans behind the product, design, or problem and then using compassion and empathy to explore, ideate, and launch elegant solutions. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Web Design and Multimedia with a minor and Film and Video Studies from the Computer Graphics Technology department at Purdue University and I am proud to have made an impact at a variety of companies; most recently, Indeed.
