Background
My name’s Ben Ellis and I am Director of Hungry Browser Limited, a User Experience Consultancy based in Essex, UK. I offer consultancy services including: Information Architecture, User Experience Analysis, Web Design, Web Development and User Insight (through web analytics and user behaviour research).
I’ve worked at some interesting places over the years, ranging from DotCom start ups and small agencies, to multi-national media corporations, client-side and now for myself. If you’d like to know more then check out the projects I’ve recently been engaged on .
Clients
Clients and colleagues like what I do and the way in which I do it. I like to be organised, focused and professional whilst having fun and telling a few jokes along the way. I am a perfectionist in everything that I do and don’t compromise on quality for the sake of getting the job done quickly.
Creative
I have filmed and edited 3 short movies (WST06, BST07 and Whister08), taken 1000s of photos and also have been known to dabble both in the kitchen and with the guitar on occasion.
Travel, surfing & skiing
Not essential to the job, but always helpful in creating that work/life balance and obtaining the stoke and focus for a new project. I’ve surfed all over the world including: Australia, South Africa, Bali, Fiji, USA, Canary Islands, Brazil and Portugal to name but few. I am bordering on the obsessive when it comes to surfing, training hard in the pool and gym when I can’t be in the sea. I have even been called the surf equivalent of a religious evangelist (not sure if that is a compliment of not). My skiing exploits have taken me through the France, Italy, Andorra, USA and Canada.
