Hey! I'm Benjamin Ezequiel, a multidisciplinary designer exploring human-computer interaction through digital tools and games. Currently pursuing an MA in Interaction Design, I love creating systems that explore human cognition and allow people to create and think in new ways.
With 5+ years of experience spanning visual design, UX, and development, I've worked on algorithmic trading interfaces at MBOCHIP, built design systems from scratch, and explored creative coding.
My approach to work is always getting deeply immersed in a new area and finding connections with familiar fields. I'm constantly creating new experiments to understand how to apply knowledge and test hypotheses in the real world (you can check some of them on my experiments page).
