Hello, I'm James Gavin Landen. I'm a designer who recently fell in love with User Experience. Beforehand, I spent over fifteen years in startup building, eCommerce, and retail management. While I loved what I was doing, I decided it was time to flex some creative muscles. The path has been winding but every step was in the right direction.

Through the Thinkful Bootcamp, I learned all of the basics. Over the course of the program, I've worked on mastering user research, design thinking, user-centered design, and everything that goes into building responsive and accessible applications. My passion for advocacy and meaningful solutions is at the heart of my design.

With egoless enthusiasm and oddly diverse technical and creative skills, I’m so excited about my journey into the world of UX/UI Design.
