About

Hi, I’m James — an ethical entrepreneur focused on creating things that bring people closer together.

For the past 10 years, I've worked in the coffee industry, using technology to connect farmers and consumers, bridging the gap between origin and cup. That experience shaped how I approach business: with intention, transparency, and a deep respect for the people behind the work.

Now, I’m channeling those same values into new ventures—crafting tools, platforms, and products designed to spark meaningful connection, whether online or in the everyday.
