Jim exceeded our expectations. In addition to being a talented conceptual designer, Jim takes a thorough approach often creating physical models and prototypes by hand. Jim supported his design work by research—store surveys, consumer data, and an analysis of existing competitive product. The end result were designs which were professional, sophisticated, and practical. One added value component of Jim’s work was that Jim often wanted to discuss the manufacturing process to simplify the design concept for production. Additionally Jim was a pleasure to work with, meeting his deadline commitments, and presenting his work thoughtfully. We were very fortunate to find Jim, and bring him into our design process at Speakman. "
