James Byun presented to KPU front-end development for interactive students

On February 25, 2026, our Art Director, James Byun, spoke to students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) Wilson School of Design about his Design and User Experience (UX) career path and experience. He touched on:

  • How his skills evolved from early-stage designer to creative leadership
  • The interplay between design and development in UX work
  • His best tips for landing that first job
  • What he wishes someone had told him when he was starting out

The front-end development for interactive students finish their program with a professional development course—preparing them to join the workforce while completing their capstone projects.

Sharing our experiences is one of the ways OXD supports the next generation of local design and development professionals.
