How I work

Design
is a
system.

01
Research First

Every decision is rooted in real user data. I treat assumptions as hypotheses — never foundations to build on.

02
Systems Thinking

I design components, not screens. Building scalable systems that hold up under the pressure of a real product.

03
Developer Fluency

I speak the language of engineers. My handoffs are precise, my constraints are real, and my prototypes are often functional.

04
Measured Craft

Details matter enormously. Typography, spacing, motion — I treat every pixel as intentional, because good design is invisible.

About

Human-centered.
Developer-fluent.

Hi, I'm Ben Marker — a UX/UI designer with over a decade of experience designing and sometimes developing digital products. I hold a Master's in Human-Centered Design and have worked for some of the most demanding organizations in tech, government, and life sciences.

What sets me apart is the ability to think in systems and speak in code. I understand how my decisions impact engineering — making me a better collaborator, a faster mover, and a more precise designer. I've also owned my own web design studio and make music when the laptop is closed.
