I’m Ben, an undergraduate, human-centered designer based in New York City, but born and raised in the Inland Empire (California). I discovered my passion for visual storytelling and design through my high school hobby turned pandemic crutch – Ableton beatmaking – where I’d use Max4Live devices to create visual components for my sample-based loops; a foundation that would trail into design programs like Figma and Adobe’s CC.
My work focuses on creating immersive environments and products that are engaging. I treat every project as a character with a voice and opportunity to make the user experience streamline and inclusive. Complimentary to my love for design is a spirit and appreciation for creative strategy as well 🦾.
