Hi! I’m Benji, a player-coach leader, animal enthusiast, and researcher. I create stellar experiences on iOS, Android, and the web for companies like yours.
Helping companies figure out where they stand in an ecosystem of competition.
Every designer needs the right tools for the job. With great planning, we win.
Figure out the right recipe of personalities for the perfect balance of people.
Over the past 15 years, I've worked with a diverse range of clients, from startups to Fortune 5 companies. I love building new ideas from scratch.
Benji encouraged our team to tap into our imaginations, and showed us brand new starting points for innovation. His speculative design workshops are next level, and accelerated the maturity of how the team thought about the problem space.
Benji is a thoughtful, compassionate leader who builds winning teams through fostering an individual’s strengths and identifying opportunities to grow. He believes in honing skills through direct and clear feedback while promoting ongoing education to level up his teams.
I know very few strategic minds as strong as Benji’s. He’s not afraid to challenge the status quo and can leverage a wide array of frameworks from UX to business and technology. Benji pushes people in the best way and has a genuine determination to grow others as well as the company.
Benji was a great mentor when it came to facilitating product design research activities. Not only did he help me prepare the agenda, but he even guided me throughout the session in a way that was not intrusive.
Benji‘s unique talent as a creative leader for finding insights makes him distinctive within the industry. He transforms quant and qual data into amazing consumer experiences, while constantly pushing the boundaries for what’s next. Working with Benji is always a pleasure!
Benji truly is a design leader. His talents are best highlighted when he facilitated Wayfair’s Mobile App roadmap strategy workshops. His workshops created a roadmap full of customer centric innovation that the mobile app was able to execute on throughout the year.
Benji has a strong command of both theoretical and practical human-centered design practices. Not only does he have a world-class toolkit, he can also tailor it for all occasions. He excels in ideation and futuristic endeavors.
I usually work on B2C software, that's my forte--where I shine best. But I also have about 15 B2B software products in my portfolio. I do end-to-end product design + branding.
I only charge hourly for my ongoing projects that need work on the regular. One-time projects are charged upfront to keep it transparent and clean! My hourly rate is $100.
I work Pacific Standard Time, but I'm always ready to help out in emergencies, no matter the hour.
Depends on the scope of the project, really. Some projects take less than a week. Some take months. The best way to find out is to get on a quick call with me, and discuss it. No strings attached!
I quote a price upfront--so that you know exactly what you're paying and for what, and there are no surprises later. The exact cost of your project depends on the scope and requirements!
I take a problem-forward approach. Whether we're iterating on an existing product or building a new one from scratch, how to solve the user's problem in the simplest way possible is my first concern.
Send me an email to understand my process in depth!
The best metrics are customer adoption, happiness, task success, and engagement. There are a number of frameworks such as the System Usability Scale that help us understand product performance and I'm happy to help with that.
I always make sure to help out my clients one month after the project ends, for free. For any help post that, we can work out an ongoing arrangement!
