Hi 👋 I'm Ben, a Tech Director and Creative Technologist 🚀 with 15+ years of experience in media installations, web, and mobile 👾 for clients like NASA, MIT, and Google. I build immersive experiences 🎮 with designers, architects, fabricators, and engineers.

From entire museums to one-night events, complex exhibit systems to bespoke, immersive experiences, my favorite projects use motion, scale, interactivity, and storytelling to evoke an emotional response.

As a technologist, I conduct research, design exhibit systems, and get hands-on with code, motion, experience design, and all forms of prototyping. As a project and discipline lead, I assemble and mentor teams and collaborate with AV partners, electrical engineers, architects, and fabricators to integrate digital experiences tightly with spatial design. As a member of Bluecadet's executive leadership team, I’ve led the creative tech practice for exhibits since 2015.

I’ve been a guest lecturer at NYU ITP and Parsons DT and regularly present my work at industry conferences. I’m also an avid builder of open-source tools for exhibits, a rock climber, and a hackathon participant. I received my B.Sc. with honors in Berlin from Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft.
