Hello, my name is Ben,I'm a UX & Visual Designer from Dallas, Texas. My work with both web and mobile experiences. I strive for functional, relevant, and smart design solutions. If you would like to work with me let me know!
The importance of the properly punctuating my last name was driven into me as a young child by my mother. As she would take any opportunity to label all my possessions with from lunch boxes to pencil bags with a piece of masking tape reading “Benjamin Hernández”.
So, I decided to take advantage of the early upgrade that AT&T so graciously offered me. I was an early adopter of the iPhone, and have been relatively pleased with the device. My biggest complaint being issues with AT&T’s service.
In my relatively short career, there is one over-arching lesson that I have learned. It being that the word “no” is not a “four-letter word”. It isn’t (since it has two letters), especially when dealing with a client. Slowly, I have and continue to learn that word’s importance my relationship with clients.
Recently we (Abidesco) launched a web site re-design for Abilene, TX-based marriage and family therapist Kurt Boyland’s counseling practice, Cedar Creek Counseling Service. My IA and mark-up development support fellow Abidesco partner Ryan Feerer’s simple, single-page design.
For many people (myself included) there is a need to find an outlet to express yourself. You want a place to share you opinion about everything from politics to religion to the very details of your daily personal routine. I get it.
It’s been my at-times-frustrating pleasure to use Google Voice for the past year and half. Thanks to Steven Ray, I was an early adopter to the service, using the service since the time that it was called Grand Central. Im so many ways it’s been fantastic.
Recently Ryan Feerer and I completed the first-ever official Abidesco project, for Mary McBride promoting her up-coming summer tour.
As has been the trend for the past nine months of my life, from getting married, to moving, the changes keep coming. April 1 will be my last day at Telligent. I’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity at NBC Artworks as a Senior Interactive Designer.
