About
I have achieved multiple Digital Impact Awards in both 2019 and 2020, for work with one of the global 'big four' accounting organisations, and Vodafone UK, respectively.
Thanks to my higher education in, and passion for design and typography, I am uniquely able to aid teams in communication and workflow; greatly smoothing the design and build process to realise optimal, fully creative work to be truly proud of.

Testimonials
James has been a great asset during his time at Wonderbly, quickly proving his ability and stepping up into a supporting role to offer guidance and mentoring to other developers in the team. Having his outside perspective into long established systems was also valuable, and we were able to collaborate on improvements effectively. I wouldn't hesitate to book James again, and look forward to doing so.
James is a top notch developer, bang up to date experience with frameworks, tools and approach (understands design really well too). A proper can do attitude on a variety of web projects for social enterprises, charities and big tech. Highly recommended.
James was wonderful. He is a very skilful developer whose communication is fantastic - this can often be tricky when working remotely. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and felt at ease throughout the project. I highly recommend working with James!
James is very knowledgeable and is always keen to help and share this knowledge. He has a wide range of skills, and what he doesn't know, he will learn. He's a great team player and is continually supportive. James has always been an asset to our team and I hope to work with him for many years to come.
James was absolutely great to work with, proactive on discussions, and really knows his stuff especially on performance and optimisation!
James worked with us on a three week contract. He delivered the work to a good standard and had great communications throughout. We have no hesitation in using him again. Thanks James!
