James always brings humour to chat even when they're being critical of Yuga. He has also supported me as an artist by purchasing my work and I am forever grateful

But instead decided to build Gobs on Ape, probably the premiere project on the entire chain. I remember him as mask from Proof and now as James from Yuga. Clearly a legend in the space and one of the preeminent devs we've seen in recent memory. Constantly interacting with his community despite probably having an insane workload, you can tell he deeply cares about web3 tech and innovation. A refreshing and powerful force.

Met James a few years back in the Proof discord and since than only had great interactions with him. Extremely passionate about everything he does while being down to earth and a great laugh. Never fade James.

James is bright as hell and is a true leader in the space. On-chain maxi, 10/10 music taste.

GOBS ON APE

Great / fun guy to have around in your community. Genuine and smart cookie

James and I go way back to a golden era of the internet, when design studios were pushing the limits of what the web could be. Back when Flash ruled and a handful of us slept less so we could build more. We weren’t just making websites. We were crafting experiences. And even if we were at competing agencies, there was a shared energy. A reverence for craft that never left. In many ways, that era feels like the early days of web3. Experimental, community-fueled, driven by builders who care more about the why than the hype. What we used to do through blog rings and award sites, we now do through PFPs and X. And James has stayed rooted in that same ethos. It makes me proud to have designed alongside him back then, and to now watch him help lead at Yuga. He’s proof that craft, conviction, and curiosity age well. And I’m right here with that same fighting spirit for what comes next.

James is a stand up guy. He deeply and genuinely cares about the space and participates as a collector, a creator, and an artist. A rare find
