YOUR HOSTS

James Royal-Lawson
Designer, digital analyst and economist. James has been experimenting with, creating and managing digital activities since going online as a teenager in 1986 and professionally since the late 90s.
Over 100 consultancy projects spanning small companies to large multi-nationals. Using data to feed the design process makes James’s eyes light up. His degree is in economics.
My reason for doing what I do
I have an endless curiosity. My work gives me the opportunity to constantly feed that curiosity and never stop learning. I get a huge amount of satisfaction from planting the seeds that eventually grow to allow people to make the progress they were hoping for.
You can find James as @beantin on Twitter and @beantin on Mastodon.

Per Axbom
Designer, coach and visual explainer. Computer geek since 1982. Over 60 consultancy projects have included booking systems, search tools and citizen services, with a focus in later years on e-health and online therapy. Per’s degree is in communication science.
My reason for doing what I do
I feel most rewarded when I am able to help others overcome challenges and reach “aha” moments. I’ve found that the best way for me to do this is by listening and bridging knowledge gaps through a multimedia language. To stay relevant, and have fun, I make sure to also push myself to learn, explore and experiment with new formats.
You can find Per as @axbom on Twitter and @axbom on Mastodon.
