James Stone: Senior Software Developer & Speaker

positive attitude + doubly dangerous

In my talks, videos, and podcasts I tell stories combining my passion, experience and unique background. This is a mix of aesthetics (design), computation (code) and music (also code) to craft personal and unique experiences aimed to entertain and educate your audiences.

Often this manifests as Design Systems (I’ve built a bunch), UI/UX Design and Development Skills and Processes (Sr. Dev at a top Finnish consultancy) and Creative Code (Former Teaching Professor at PSU School of Visual Arts). Currently I live and work in Helsinki, Finland and I am currently on a mission to speak at conferences in or near Europe. Sorry rest of the world, I am also on a mission to be back home on the weekends.
