I'm James Davidson, a designer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the past decade, my work has moved across digital experiences, publishing platforms, visual systems, and physical exhibits, usually in places where there are complicated ideas and a lot of different needs to balance.
I currently design digital systems and experiences at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Before that, I spent several years at the California Academy of Sciences designing digital experiences and science storytelling for public audiences.
My background is in visual communication, which has grown to include UX, accessibility, and systems thinking. I'm drawn to problems that sit between people, information, and technology, where the answer has to be both usable and worth looking at.
When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me exploring museums, outdoors with my family, reading something involving dragons or magic, or experimenting with whatever new technology has caught my attention.
