Benjamin Crothers

I’m a design strategist, mentor and team leader with deep knowledge and expertise in UX strategy and design, as well as user research, conceptual thinking, design, development, content production and social/content marketing.

I’ve been in the online industry from when Netscape Navigator ruled the web, and I’ve worked with several start-ups, digital agencies and Saas products, as well as corporate, NFP and government clients.

My strengths include helping people refine, re-frame and redefine their thinking into better strategies, better concepts, better communications, and better roadmaps. I’m into designing *with* as well as *for* customers, which is why I’m a big fan of Design Thinking practice. People who work with me know that I’m very thorough, energetic, and passionate about digital user experience.

Right now, I’m working on a range of tools and practices to bring out the thinker and designer in anyone and everyone involved with online product strategy, design and development, to help people build the right things in the right way, with the right teams.
