Colleagues describe him as "Ben is both a great team leader and hands-on contributor. He delivers thoughtful feedback to team members while giving them room to grow. I learned a lot from Ben about managing stakeholders and driving difficult projects forward. His love for problem solving and design is self-evident and he’s always happy to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty. I worked adjacent to Ben for three and a half years watching him tackle some of the most complicated products I’ve encountered in experience design. He is someone who can be relied on and trusted to do a job well done." and "Ben hired me to join the UX design team at Foundation Medicine in 2017. Ben paved ways, both openly and behind the scene, for designers to do their best work. He trusted me with leading projects when I was much more of a hot-headed young designer and provided constructive guidance anytime I requested. He also set up meetings to continue to support my career as a designer even after we no longer work in the same company. He made me feel care for as a person, beyond just a designer who worked on his team who's driving project success. He advocated for my work and championed for me through my visa complication when other companies have turned their heads away. Despite his long career in design, Ben always showed openness to feedback and curiosity to new approaches. He advocates for working smart instead of working hard. Ben is a constant reminder of candor, BS intolerance, and genuine compassion for designers he manages. Ben has been a great mentor that I am so privileged to have worked with and kept in touch with even after I moved to the west coast."
