About me
Hey there! I'm Benjamin, a multidisciplinary designer who wields code and illustration like a digital Swiss Army knife. By day, I craft user experiences for tech companies, aiming to spark joy, connection, and make those everyday digital interactions a breeze. Leading teams, igniting creativity, and obsessing over the perfect detail are all part of my design repertoire.
But design is just the first level! When I'm not wrangling pixels, I'm a passionate explorer of creative mediums. Music? I play and sometimes even create it (though it might drive the neighbors mad!). Video games? I love both playing and getting my hands dirty building them.
Beyond the design world, I'm a self-proclaimed hummus connoisseur (#priorities), a wanderer with a thirst for new cultures, and a lover of philosophical discussions that delve into the beautiful absurdity of the world (bonus points for post-discussion movie and Studio Ghibli marathons).
Let's connect! I'd love to hear about your project, or simply bond over a shared love of good food, questionable AI art, the magic of Studio Ghibli films, or the thrill of creating the next great game or song.
