James O’Brien

A UX designer and experienced agile practitioner, James loves creating exceptional digital products. You’ll often find him on Twitter, complaining about the frustrations that get in his way. Over the last ten years, he’s worked with agencies, enterprise code shops, and independent startups—always preaching the importance of designing for the user. James lives on a rusty Dutch barge that is moored by Tower Bridge. He doesn’t do anything in his spare time because he lives on a rusty Dutch barge, so never gets any. He is co-author, with Martina Schell, of Communicating the UX Vision: 13 Anti-Patterns That Block Good Ideas.
