šŸ‘‹šŸ» Hi, Iā€™m Ben.

I’ve been making things for the web for over 25 years, and this site has been my personal space on the web since at least 2005. It is a safe space where I can play with design ideas, refresh my coding skills and share content and opinions about things I find interesting or inspiring.

I’m a product person, and I’m pretty good at helping companies create successful new products, especially when starting from zero. I’ve done this for organisations of all shapes and sizes over the last decade or so, in various different industries and with various different job titles. Iā€™m doing that for myself now, building Nudge to help schools improve and streamline their admission processes.

I live in Valencia, Spain, having arrived here via the UK and Tokyo. Away from my desk, I enjoy exploring the local mountains on my road bike or shooting film on my grail camera. I’m watching less movies since becoming a dad but I log everything I do get to see on Letterboxd. You can find me scattered around various other social networks using the name “beseku”.
