The startup journey isn't easy. From the moment your idea takes form, the pressure is on. An ambitious vision, a product to ship, limited runway. And there’s a missing piece — the design that drives your product forward.


Here’s where I come in. Fractional design partner.


I've spent the last decade in the trenches. Building products, validating ideas, and navigating product-market fit. That’s why I went fractional. As your part-time design partner, I bring all the senior expertise without the overhead.


Together, we create solutions that both look great and deliver results. Let’s build something that lasts.

Hey, Ben here!

Hey, Ben here!

I'm a Product Design Lead at Small Batch Learning by day and partnering with ambitious startups at night, with a focus for work in edtech, consumer and productivity.

I approach design with a less is more philosophy, guided by simplicity, elegance and being intentional.

When I'm not working, I disconnect and spend time in nature, practice yoga and hang out with my furry pets.

Originally from UK, I am based in Hong Kong and available for work globally. Drop me a message if you think we’ll be a good fit!
