Ben Judy takes tech from frustrating to fun. His passion is to understand the needs of people who use technology and design better systems that work well for humans.

He designed and built his first website in 1996. He began using Axure in 2006 to create rapid prototypes for all manner of digital projects with a user-centered design approach.

Ben has worked as a UX manager, contributor, contractor, and consultant with global Fortune 500 companies, family-owned small businesses, and small start-up ventures. Amid the complexity of collaborative software projects, Ben keeps his focus simple; it's all about the user experience!

Ben lives near Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Kristen, and daughters, Ashley and Emily—who keep him laughing and remind him of God's grace.

Sam Spicer is a digital design professional with 14 years of experience. Beginning with front-end development, Sam progressed through his MS in Human-Computer Interaction into the realm of Information Architecture in the early 2000s. Since then, he's contributed to, and has also led, redesigns and replatforms for international brands, ranging from e-commerce and financial services to the retail and food industry. When he's not geeking out on some obscure experience or technical thing, you can find him enjoying with his family, brewing beer, or otherwise getting into some sort of trouble.
