My name is James Groom and I am a UX/UI designer with 3-4 years experience. I also have over 15 years experience in Advertising and Graphic Design. I spent most of my career as an Art Director / Graphic Designer at several Ad Agencies and, more recently, worked as an in-house Designer in the real estate world. After that, I shifted gears and went back to school for UX design and have spent the last 2 years at Citi as a UX / UI Designer. I have created TV commercials, print ads, websites, and more for dozens of iconic luxury brands. My favorite, and most important, part of design is finding out the why. Why am I designing this? Who is it for? I am now using all of my Graphic Design and real world experience to create incredible experiences for the world around me. A successful alumni of Holy Cross College, & FIT in NYC, I live on Long Island with my beautiful ladies–my wife Taylor and two amazing daughters, Ella & Violet.
