Hello! My name is Ben and I'm a designer from Chicago. I am a curious and passionate person who enjoys exploring complex systems and figuring out how they work. I have been a designer for 5 years with the majority of my experience in the finance industry.

Over the last few years, I have developed a love for working on design systems. With a systems mindset, I always seek connections and ways to make things work together. I enjoy working in an area that can help my coworkers be more efficient and confident with their work. Recently, I led the design for Silicon Valley Bank's design system.

In addition, I have a passion for teaching others. I have led various classes on animation, prototyping, and Figma at my past two roles.

Outside of work, I am an aspiring audiophile and keyboard enthusiast. I enjoy building computers and playing video games.
