Ben and I worked together at Inkblot Therapy and GreenShield Health. Over that time, he took on progressively more complex design projects, a clear sign of his growth and calibre as a designer. He led the creation of our design system, which significantly scaled our ability to build efficiently. He also played a key role in the rebrand and redesign of Inkblot's website, untangling messaging hierarchy and information architecture while managing feedback across multiple stakeholders on a genuinely complex project. Ben brings a rare combination: he's self-motivated, thinks deeply about problems before jumping to solutions, and sweats the details that make a design actually work.

Ben was our design lead at Push.ai, and much of what made the product work traces back to the foundation he built. He took the time to deeply understand a technically complex product and how it used AI to produce outcomes for our customers, and that understanding informed everything he designed. It also allowed him to create a flexible design library that gave the product a polished, cohesive feel while keeping pace with how quickly we were building with AI, which meant we could move fast without the experience suffering for it.

That combination mattered most when timelines were tight, which at a startup is often. Ben consistently delivered original, thoughtful designs for our most important features under real pressure, and he did it as a true partner to the team rather than someone simply handing off screens. I would recommend him to any team building an AI product that needs a designer who can think deeply and move quickly.

I hired Ben while working through a set of difficult design and UX choices for a consumer hardware-enabled services product. He quickly picked up on the nuances of user behavior in hardware and software, critical paths, technology restrictions, and legacy UI choices. Ben redesigned a complete consumer app, and worked with the engineering team to get things built quickly. He was able to extend the design to a congruent B2B2C offering which unlocked a new channel of growth for the company. Above all that, the designs themselves were top tier. Absolutely would work with Ben again.
