About me
Hi, I'm James Foster.
Hi, I'm James Foster.
I am a product designer with a decade of experience translating intricate business requirements into seamless digital experiences. I focus heavily on complex, highly regulated industries where user trust is everything and the margin for error is slim.
Currently at Legalpath, I untangle dense compliance workflows, recently overhauling our core onboarding flow to increase daily active users by 85%. Previously, as a Senior UX Designer at Medflow Systems, I redesigned a fragmented patient management portal, streamlining data entry to save the clinic £150K in staff overtime.
My approach is rooted in systems thinking and rapid iteration—a philosophy I honed while scaling trader onboarding at Harvest Exchange and navigating strict regulatory constraints at Vantage Financial. Ultimately, I believe the best digital products do more than just look good; they fundamentally improve how organizations operate and how people do their jobs.
