My name is Ben, and I'm a 2D digital artist based in LA.
I have over a decade of experience with Photoshop and I
create, design, and fully realize characters for games.

Worked in both well-established and startup studios
-
Worked on projects for new & emerging game technologies
like VR/AR and Google Stadia -
I've had the pleasure of working in established studios as well as startups-
I count one of my skills as being able to flourish in any kind of environment,
whether it's with an established chain of command or
managing my own time & needing to wear many hats.
Having worked on projects for new and emerging game technologies like VR & AR and Google Stadia, I feel uniquely positioned as an artist to be able to understand limitations and strengths of a system or engine and how to create designs that fully embrace and even go beyond the full scope of its capabilities.
Whether it's interacting with with NPCs or walking through a new world as someone else, the best part of games for me is the characters. I strive to create and portray believable and visually compelling characters, and my hunger to create means that I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills- communication, workflow, technical skills... anything that can make me not only
a better artist, but a better person and more valuable team member.
