Meet Benjamin
UX Researcher & Designer
I am currently working as a User Experience Researcher and Designer at Jumping Elephants.
With a background in Architecture, I developed a love to work on design-based problem solving at an early stage of my career. As an architect, I gained valuable experience and wore various hats when needed. This, helped me try out new and handy tools and techniques that would also pave the path for my UX journey.
I enjoy challenges and always look for opportunities to practice my creative problem-solving skills. My ever-growing love for technology and interfaces is why I decided to transition from Designing physical spaces to digital real-estate.
Outside of design and research, I enjoy listening to and playing music, working on collage art and going out for drives. I’m also a space & tech nerd, and a fan of ATLA.
I’m looking for UX work opportunities and am available to start in Spring 2024.
