James Gartrell Email & Phone Number

I am a User Experience Designer driven by finding creative solutions to a user's needs. My philosophy is that there are not "stupid" users, but that they simply have different experiences/expertise than you - the designer. The key to creating a product that will delight the user is to understand and empathize with their challenges. I have the ability to unify stakeholders and team members around a single vision by communicating to them in a language they understand. I use many different methods for communicating design vision, but the most important methods are collaboration and constantly looking for ways to improve the way I practice design.Specialties: Lean UX Design, Mobile and Tablet design, Interaction Design, Rapid Prototyping using HTML/CSS/Javascript, Omnigraffle, Fireworks, Photoshop, Visio, Axure Rp, paper prototyping, usability testing, focus groups, survey, user advocacy, design concepts, visual design.*If you'd like to connect and we haven't met in person or know each other, could you please send me a brief introduction?
