What our clients say about us

"We wanted to do something different to help our strategic customer in tech adoption, so we invited one of our customers to share some key challenges and Ben from Evolving Design developed such an impactful workshop where the whole team were able to engage with a key stakeholders from the customer, listening to them and working with them to develop tangible and personalised solutions

"Ben was meticulous during our preparatory collaborations. The time and effort he dedicated for these is a testament to him as an operator and an endorsement of what others employing him should expect. His approach to team building sessions and lateral thinking exercises was a cut above.

His ability to grasp often complex business matters helped in his moderation of a clean and focused workshop and the result for us was a five-year strategy, wholly endorsed by all our stakeholders.

Needless to say, we would return to Ben again in the future."

- Margo (Founder, proSapient)

"At a crucial point in our growth, Ben supported the team's alignment on values and workstreams in order to develop our high-performance culture. The interactive sessions, particularly the 'Values in Action' exercise, gave us a chance to hear from everyone and really bring the whole team together in a creative space to co-create solutions. We have the ingredients needed to formulate clear tangible next steps as individuals and within each team to drive our strategy, and we had the most amazing response from all our employees who also took away so much from the day"

- Gabrielle (COO, thymia)

The founder of Evolving Design, Ben is dedicated to facilitating teams to grow better businesses with effective collaboration. Ben started Evolving Design in 2018 to bring human-centred design skills to teams who do not have easy access to design agencies and teams. Ben built up his skills through education and training, where facilitating a group of 30, 15 year olds to learn maths made him resilient and adaptable. Supporting leaders to facilitate change in their organisation has developed his wider expertise to bring this all together to help teams solve big challenges with facilitated workshops.
