Redmond, WA: Digital Artist and UX Designer

ben@bwritter.com   |   LinkedIn  |  Facebook  |  deviantART & dA Portfolio |  Résumé 

I am a graduate of DigiPen Institute of Technology where I was trained as a fine artist and animator, then to apply those skills to digital media. I am particularly interested in user experience design and vector art, but I have a fondness for technical artistry and creating materials for 3D scenes.

I am comfortably employed at present.  Still, feel free to scrutinize my gallery and résumé.
