  • I highly recommend Ben Ellis as an IA. He is thorough, meticulous and logical in his approach. Ben designs his structure both functionally and technically. He understands how the pieces need to fit together and questions what needs to be questioned. His level of expertise and competence is incredibly difficult to find. He’s also a very bright and pleasant person. I’d work with him again any day on any project.

  • Ben is a great IA who I worked with at Dare before he came to Pirata, his in depth understanding of technologies means you always get an innovative approach to information design, add to that his ability to deal with clients professionally and the fact he is a genuinely nice person! If I had to find one negative it is that he is often booked up as so many agencies want to work with him!

    Mark Parry, Independent Maritime Professional, Marine Coastal Processing
  • Ben has delivered excellent work on EVERY project whilst consulting at Duke. I have zero hesitations in recommending Ben. Simple brilliant... you'd be three prawns short of a BBQ if you didn't use him!
    Paul Jason, Creative Director, Duke UK
  • There are two things you need to be to work at Dare, good and nice. Addressing the former, Ben is a methodical IA whose work unashamedly leans toward the visual design end of the spectrum. His documentation is arguably among the best I've seen. In relation to being nice, Ben's surf-bred, laconic and thoughtful approach to life makes him the perfect example of a healthy work-life balance. Being both good and nice we worked with him more than once and, in similar circumstances, we'd work with him again.
    John Gibbard , Senior Information Architect, Dare
  • Ben is pure IA and front end magic. For me Ben's skills lie in a keen understanding of requirements, combined with an innate knowledge of how these should be catered for within a digital product. This meant that on the project we worked on together wireframes and user flows were rapidly worked up and signed off by the client with virtually no changes. He really gets what makes the best user experience and how good interactive design should work. These skills in tandem with his front end development experience enables him to understand and plan for an efficient and clean implementation process. Highly recommended.
    Adam McNichol, Senior Producer/Project Manager, Preloaded
