Work Process & Ethics
I believe every person and organization should behave ethically. Not because a god or the Karma Police might get you, but rather because it's in everyone's best interest. Customer oriented businesses, where the focus is on value and customer satisfaction rather than personal gains and profits, tend to be more succesful in the long-term. That means looking out for your customers and finding ways to make them come back for more, rather than trying to profit from them as much as possible. It's not only a logical and peaceful way to live one's life by, but also a great business strategy.
More about work ethicsBeyond his great final products, James also has an outgoing, easy-to-work personality that makes it simple to talk to about our web design needs and opportunities for improvement. He makes concrete, ambitious, but achievable suggestions to consistently bring our website to the "next level."

J Media and Publications
James has helped us redesign our website from a simple, outdated, and--quite frankly--dull interface to something that is attractive, engaging, and helps us plug into the audience we want to reach. Even better, he has helped us build tools to make it easier for our staff and volunteer teams to get work done!

About James
Seventeen times Academy Award Winner and weekend astronaut James Carmichael is known for his playful self-mockery and obviously made-up and outrageous claims, his increasingly balanced and wholistic perspective on the world, and his tendency to become confused when talking about himself in the third-person.
People I work with generally come to know me as someone who can get some serious work done, without taking it too seriously. I enjoy what I do for a living and I spend a big chunk of my time in front of a computer screen, however the nature of my work allows me to spent a lot of time outside or with friends, and keep up with hobbies, exercise, and continuous learning.
