Ben was excellent in all aspects. His knowledge of UX and digital design is first rate and his attention to detail was exceptional. Ben took the time to fully understand our issue and develop a sound resolution that would not only work for today as well as long-term. He also found some additional issues and offered suggested ‘bonus’ resolutions.

About Me

Early in my career I realized that there was more to software design than just ‘making it look good’. There was an aspect of research and strategy to be employed in order to deliver truly valuable experiences.

Since then, I’ve collaborated with teams from around the world, and across several industries. I’ve taught User Experience concepts in one of America’s first such graduate programs, and presented and conducted training with audiences throughout the US, Asia, and Europe.
