James Williams
I design and build software for people who know what they're doing. Currently Head of Design at Sparq, where I prototype in code and ship AI-native tools alongside client work.
The best interfaces earn their complexity. Not by hiding it but by making it feel inevitable. The right label, the right hierarchy, the right moment of restraint. Compound those decisions across a system and something shifts: dense information starts to breathe.
Outside of Design
When I'm not designing and building, I'm making; mudroom cubbies, homemade pasta, a life with two kids under 3. We made it to India to see my wife's family last year, finally. Pizza Fridays are non-negotiable. My Spotify playlists are based on what we're eating and drinking.
