I’m Ben Bryant

I love exploring how people interact with the world around them; whether through tools, spaces, or everyday objects. It doesn’t always have to happen on a screen; sometimes it’s as hands-on as shaping wood with the right chisel. Often the simplest way to guide someone isn’t with instructions at all, but by shaping the design so it feels intuitive, like a dovetail joint that just clicks into place.
