Ben Jensen is an architectural student and aspiring designer. He believes design has a direct impact on the way humans interact, behave, and ultimately live their day-to-day lives. With so many different technological advances and design, the opportunities for innovation and creative solution-making are endless.
His interests include architecture and other multi-disciplinary design fields: human-centered, user experience, pedestrian, interactive, product, graphics, layout, design research, and design strategy. Ben is interested in design that focuses on user experience, design research, and context awareness. He currently attends the University of Kansas School of Architecture in Lawrence, Kansas.
Ben will graduate in May 2015 with a Master of Architecture (M.Arch I) and a minor in Business, and is excited to continue to learn as he begins his professional career.
