With two decades of design expertise under my belt, I'm able to adapt to a variety of challenges from high-impact digital experiences including fintech to e-commerce platforms, global integrated advertising campaigns, digital & social campaigns, packaging design, rebrands for established brands, and new identities for lesser known ones.
With all this, I bring a proven track record of success to every project I invest my time in.

Unfiltered feedback from clients, founders, and managers—in their own words.
In his time working on Carmignac, Ben has not only been an excellent Design Lead, but also a true partner.
I have come to depend on his point of view and perspective across all aspects of UI design work. Ben has been there during our largest pieces of work over the past few years - from launching our new brand, to the creation of our new digital product design system. Along the way, Ben has provided key insights that ensured the new re-brand would be fit for digital and for accessibility. He ensured our new design system would have the necessary scalability to work for a variety of applications. He has been relentless in always pushing the standard of design work - from the smallest buttons to the complete redesign of our fund pages.
Ben is fantastic at design origination, being an inspiration to his team (without being overbearing) and also having the experience to speak confidently and strategically about design work. He’s great at providing the necessary rationale to prove that the work is more than just a pretty image, but rather is a living, breathing interactive experience.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Ben and would strongly recommend him. He’s great!

Founder feedback
I knew Ben in his capacity as a consultant design director at Signalbox. He is, without a doubt, an exceptional UX and UI expert, and his strategic skills contributed in no small part to the company's success. In addition to his professional accumen, Ben is a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Manager feedback
Ben is a thoughtful, considerate Design Director who strives to deliver the best work possible, either by managing a team of designers or by himself. He brings a friendliness, calmness and professionalism to chaotic work situations - finding real solutions. He understands every aspect of design - Branding, UI, UX, communications, packaging, publications, and more.
He was my partner in crime at Kano, helping to manage the creative team, develop the brand, illustration, photography, and marketing for some of our biggest launches. Pushing design and attention to detail to new heights, bringing in some incredible freelance talent and filmmakers to level up the team, and turning his hand to any challenge. Ben is an awesome person to have on your side.

Ben has a very calm, considered creative approach. You can trust him to deliver. We worked together for many years at Albion and I'm looking forward to doing that again. Would highly recommend him to anyone in the early stages of creating / designing a brand ID / communications / or product.

Ben is an extremely talented and experienced designer who, during his time at Nonsense, proved his versatility and strong eye for current design trends. Even when working under pressure, Ben maintained his calm and kind character which naturally saw him really gel with the wider team.
It was a pleasure getting to know Ben, and I look forward to working together more in the future.

Ben is an incredibly hard working, fastidious designer with a broad range of skills; spanning from brand identity creation and editorial design to working closely with product and UX practitioners in a visual design capacity.
He's been an integral part of the design team here at Albion for several years, working across the majority of our clients. In that time Ben has consistently approached projects with a high level of enthusiasm and professionalism and been responsible for creating some fantastic work.
