Benjamin Gross, '12 Digital Design
I’m a UXer and Digital Designer in the Princeton, NJ area. Professionally I’ve shifted from 3D modeling and game design to digital design and UX. My focus is on assessment and educational products - from redesigning the Department of Education's NAEP assessment to creating tools that help teachers lesson plan and improve their teaching practices. My strengths lie in end-to-end design solutions — from rapid, iterative ideation early-on to the creation of assets like animations, illustrations, and interfaces for use in final products. I'm excited to start my first year at Pratt for Information Experience Design to formalize my UX knowledge and continue to grow in this area of design.
