Bio
Eva Bramwell
Ben’s has an incredible ability to take a brainstorm session and clarify the objectives perfectly. The work Ben produces is always on time (or before a deadline) and exceeds my expectations in both the experience and design. I fully trust Ben and will pick him to be on my team again!
Zack Karlsson
I've worked with Ben for several years on an interesting project in the Ed Tech space. Ben has a singular focus on the end-user's experience. He looks at things from a whole-picture point of view. Specifically, lots of projects look at specific workflows and attempt to optimize that particular function. Ben does that, but also views it through the lens of the overall customer or client experience. From the time they login or come to our page until the time they leave -- he doesn't rest on the boundaries of the specific assignment, there's always a background focus on how this is going to be used and how the person using it is going to react to it. He has a modern design aesthetic, works well in a team, takes direction well, and can work unsupervised. He manages his own time and is professional in his delivery. I'd work with Ben again any time.

UI Foundry designs and develops prototypes and applications on the web, Android, and iOS. We have deep experience with start-ups, project-rescue missions, enterprise systems, and legacy product refreshes. Customers are typically web and mobile start-ups in the consumer or social space, as well as large enterprises in the financial, healthcare, or technology sectors. I personally function as customer advocate and design lead on many UI Foundry projects as a consultant. You can often find me working on defining UI challenges, mapping product flows, wireframing interactions, testing low-fidelity prototypes, designing high-fidelity mock-ups for responsive web and mobile projects.
