My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on design execution, ensuring that every product not only looks beautiful but delivers real value to its users.
I've had the privilege of designing products for some amazing companies:
Here are some kind words from some talented collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with:
Under Ben's guidance, I found my voice and the courage to share my ideas. His unwavering support provided clarity while also keeping me grounded. I've grown immensely under his leadership and will always be grateful!
In a short period of time Ben has made a significant impact on the future of Web POS. I am very impressed with his work on the quick charge app - I think it's a fast turnaround on a real seller need. Big props.
I appreciate that Ben is always looking for ways to improve our products and services while keeping teams motivated and informed. He is also a transparent and authentic leader!
Ben is an incredibly talented designer and leader, and one of those people you work with on a project that you never forget. I had the pleasure of working with him in MetaLab where he displayed a high levels of design skill and thoughtful leadership.
One of the things that I most valued in working with Ben was his leadership abilities. He set a strong quality bar for the team and was able to coach the more junior designers in a way that instilled confidence and created a positive & supportive atmosphere for the project.
Ben consistently went went above and beyond to ensure that our remote design team was running smoothly and producing the best work we could. I always found his feedback thoughtful, and his contact with clients - both workshopping, and during our weekly sprint presentations - was something I learnt a great deal from.
Good design doesn't end at pleasing visuals. Every detail and interaction with one's work is an opportunity to create a meaningful exchange. This can be realized in many ways: clever copy, perfectly-timed animations, or interactions to guide the user.
Begin with clarity. Ensure the core experience is intuitive and accessible before adding creative flourishes. Cleverness should enhance a design, not obstruct it.
Constraints breed creativity. Working within limitations - whether technical, visual, or conceptual - often leads to more focused and innovative solutions.
Consistency in design details builds trust with your users. Every interaction should reinforce that trust through predictable patterns and honest communication.
Good design removes barriers and enables users to achieve their goals efficiently. It should make complex tasks feel simple and give users confidence in their actions.
Every design decision should serve a purpose. From color choices to interaction patterns, be intentional and able to articulate the reasoning behind each choice.
Our world is full of clutter and noise that we navigate every day. Good design takes away the extra elements that distract and offer a clear and engaging experience that stands apart. As designers, we reduce what is necessary until all that remains is crucial.
