Hi, I'm
Ben Parker
let ben = "designer + developer";▌
I've been designing and building for the web since 2001. These days I lead the Solutions Architects team at Webflow but I still spend my time prototyping, writing code, consulting, and shipping. Got something you want to build? Let's make it happen.
Who I've worked with 
About A designer who
A designer who
writes the code.
Before the web, I spent a decade in education. That is where I really learned to take something complicated and make it click for people. That instinct never left.
I move comfortably between design and engineering: sketching an interface in the morning, shipping the front-end for it in the afternoon. I lead a team of solutions architects, and still get a kick out of solving a gnarly layout bug at 11pm.
If it lives in a browser, I probably love arguing about how it should work.
