Ben Ellis
Freelance UX Designer
I created Flex Design System for Figma — a practical, extensible framework that helps UX and UI designers rapidly ideate while maintaining visual consistency as projects scale. Every component, property, variant and design token has been carefully crafted to balance speed, usability and adaptability.
Inspired by established systems such as Bootstrap, Carbon, Polaris and Tailwind, Flex combines best practice with a focus on real-world application. It serves not only as a production-ready Figma design system but also as a learning resource for designers looking to deepen their knowledge of design systems, tokens and scalable component-driven workflows.
Flex demonstrates my commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in design systems. It reflects years of experience working with complex brands and projects, while also exploring how emerging tools and automation can streamline workflows without sacrificing quality.

Ben Bashford
Ben was the first freelance hire I made at a new job. He not only delivered work that was above and beyond the quality expected of him but also actively improved our relationship with a key client. Incredibly professional, diligent and craft-driven, I'd jump at having him back on my team.
Tom Vining
Ben's an exceptional UX designer with impeccable problem solving skills and a super positive vibe, even under pressure. He's worked with us on a number of projects, including very complex web apps which require deep product knowledge along with comprehensive discovery work to identify issues and opportunities for improvements. His solutions are always super logical and well thought out. He's a top designer, very well organised and an excellent communicator with a great temperament. Looking forward to our next collaboration!
Rodrigo Alberini
I had lots of fun working together with Ben. In between challenging projects and clients, he always kept calm and with good energy, with a solution-oriented mindset - which makes a Producer's life much easier. Ben is that type of UX Designer that you really want to have in your team.
Mar Martin Herranz
I worked with Ben for carolinaherrera.com relaunch project and I can say he is such a professional who really understood what we wanted to deliver with our new website bringing his UX expertise into the project. Ben is a very organised person who was delivering always on time. This is crucial when you have such a big project with tight deadlines. Hope we can work together in the future Ben! It's always a pleasure to work with people like Ben.
