About me
Hey, I'm Ben, a recent Designlab Academy graduate. As a recent graduate, I bring a fresh approach to user-centric design, eager to tackle challenges and create intuitive solutions. My final projects tackled real-world challenges, like crafting an intuitive moderator bot for WhatsApp groups, an AI budgeting feature for a fintech app, and a responsive language learning platform with AI and native speaker pairings.
Equipped with design tools proficiency, I'm well-versed in UX/UI principles. I'm energized by the prospect of collaborating with industry professionals, sharing my skills, and driving user-centric design forward. A lifelong learner, I'm eager to keep growing and making a positive impact in the field.
Personal
Outside of design, I find joy in spending quality time with loved ones. Whether it's cooking together, exploring nature on hikes, or exploring different cultures (like my current Netflix obsession with Asian cuisine!), I'm always looking for ways to learn and grow.
