About Benjamin

I help companies solve complex problems, translating needs into innovative new services and business opportunities.

My philosophy is "with people for people", which means that only by involving people, validating their needs, and co-creating solutions, can we achieve a sustainable project. I manage the entire service design process, while also focusing particularly on the research part and facilitating ideation workshops using design thinking techniques.

I have worked in Brussels, Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Madrid leading projects for national and international clients.

Reviewed on 5/17/2021

Benjamin was hired to be in charge of teaching a 1-week remote Intro to Google Design Sprint course to a university partner - a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. His responsibilities included preparing the course material, defining the weekly structure, and teach the theoretical content. He was also in charge of leading a team of 2 teacher assistants that supported him throughout the course. Even though he was given a very reduced time frame to put it together, Ben was able to prepare a very interesting and compelling course. His technical expertise and hands-on approach made the remote course not only much more interesting for the students but also exciting and fun at the same time.
