About me - my core skills and more
More about me
I'm Ben, a user interface developer and designer from the UK (Portsmouth/London). I have been a professional in this capacity for over five years and have loved (almost) every minute of it.
- Knowledge
- Design
- Development
- Passion
I design and develop user interfaces across various platforms and devices with an approach that sees content and structure divorced from style.
I have a fine eye for detail, a thirst to work on the highest calibre projects and a desire to collaborate with the best individuals and organisations in the industry.
