Design. Build. Measure. Learn. Iterate.

Hello. I'm James Hankin, a User Experience Developer and Designer currently working at Fanatical - an online PC game retailer. I have been working as a Senior UX Developer for the past 3+ years at Fanatical, heading the research, design and UX development of the front-end of the custom built eCommerce platform. Previously I have worked as a Web Designer for 5+ years and a mixed Design/Front-End Javascript Developer for 2+ years. This experience in both roles enables me to bridge the gap between design and development teams, creating a better performing site.

A users experience of using a website isn’t just effected by how it looks but by how it works. A slow and unresponsive website can not only hurt conversion, but your user may never even see your beautiful website if it doesn’t load quick enough. This is where I try and strike a balance between having beautiful aesthetics and being performance optimised.
