I was the first person in my department to recieve this award since its inception in 1939.

About Me
I'm a designer, photographer, producer, manager, front-end developer and UX professional. I work for billion dollar companies and we-don't-make-a-profit-yet outfits. I also have a really good beard, and I am an award-winning beer chemist.
I enjoy helping people take their ideas from a rough sketch to a thing that can be clearly understood by individuals of all comprehension levels, all over the world. I've designed and developed things ranging from websites to games, print collaterals to curricula, corporate identity packages to special operations intel briefings. I work in nearly all languages with little to no slowdown, and I love to do new things to help my fellow humans.
I'm currently open to new opportunities. Feel free and send me a message (wilson.ben.daniel@gmail.com) if you want to talk about stuff. I'd love to hear about your project.
