What people say

“I had the pleasure of working with Ben on the Experience Design team during my time at Best Buy Canada.
Ben possesses an innate ability to ideate concepts and explore innovative strategies aligned with the brand and the challenges we were solving for, all with a genuine wit and fun personality that made any challenge not a challenge at all.
Collaborative idea sessions with him were always particularly rewarding, as he always was open to feedback, ready to pivot, and the genuine desire to jump in and help out.”
