About
I’m Ben — a freelance digital product designer with 10 years of experience. I care a lot about using design for positive impact. Currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I was most recently working at Portugal’s newest unicorn, Cucumber. They raised the biggest Series D Portugal has seen. Before that I worked for Cool Cool — the fastest growing bank in Portugal. I led product design for over 8 million customers. I worked across multiple product squads solving complex money problems.
Before Cool Cool — I was the first design-hire at tech startup, Red Box. I led all of Red Box’s design output. From advertising, to the website, to the digital dashboard product. I was the 2nd hire and the company grew to 200 whilst there.
Over the years I’ve worked in automotive, health-tech, banking, SaaS and telecoms. From early-stage startups, to FTSE 100 companies.
