I have extensive experience with both large organisations and startups across a wide array of industries
Some nice things people have said 🎤
Ben brings a rare blend of diligence, quality, creativity, and passion to everything he does, balancing the needs of the business with the user’s experience. His ability to articulate design decisions is unparalleled, always balanced in solid design theory and user insights. Ben doesn’t just understand design craft; he communicates its value in a way that brings everyone on board.
Stu Collett
Design Director
Ben is a great designer. He was dropped in to a scrum team and very quickly became accustomed to the work pace, getting up to speed with all the technicalities of the work, very quickly.
Very approachable. Very hard working. Very powerful beard. I would hire Ben again any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Martyn Reding
Design Director
I would highly recommend Ben. An individual that is always willing to go above and beyond for the team and someone who will always go the extra mile to hit a deadline without compromising on quality.
