Testimonials
Ben and I worked together for 2 years on an R&D project. He was an excellent teammate and a skilled designer, both in thinking through approaches to problems we were facing as well as in his ability to script large amounts of content at a high quality in a short period of time. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ben, and think he will make an excellent designer of enemies, encounters, combat, or really of anything he pursues.

I cannot recommend Ben enough. I worked with him at Riot for about the last two years, and I was very lucky to do so. In addition to being just an all around very intelligent and thoughtful game designer, his commitment to his teammates and genuine care for others is a massive morale boost to any team. He makes his teammates feel welcome. His skill for looking at the big picture of game design is excellent and I would work with him again without question. Any team would be lucky to have him.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ben on two different teams during our time at Riot. He has incredible intuition around what players will find fun and holds his work to that high bar. For some developers that can mean slow iterations, but Ben is able to produce iterations very quickly. On our team he was someone we highly trusted on work that needed a lot of iteration and nuanced feel to land such encounter, balance, and combat design.

Ben is a compassionate human, a deeply insightful designer, and a tireless player advocate. He jumps into new problems with courage and determination. He invests real time and thought into constructive feedback, leveling up those around him. He does fantastic work on the brand new blank page of a project, or finding ways to delight players in a ten year old game.
