Hello.
I’m Benjamin Gray. I’m a UX Designer.
I also create art, write, design SFX props, and craft custom pipes.
UX Design. So many definitions, right? So let me clear up where I’m coming from. Most of the time, I’m focused on information architecture and content modeling. And I spend a good deal of time working with my teammates in visual design and in development. But that’s most of the time. I also work on product design and requirements writing, visual design, and developing front-ends and CMS’s.
(And there’s that list above if you want to know what else I get up to.)
University News Site and Publishing Process
This university needed a redesign of their school-wide publishing platform. I worked with several of their team members and users to understand their publishing needs and then designed a way to make the process better within the limitations of the CMS.
Designing a more useful trip suggestion
Rethinking what a ‘trip idea’ should be on a state tourism site to make it more useful to people planning their vacations. I was responsible for research, content design, and writing the first version of several new itineraries to be used as writing guides.
Content-First Redesign of Two University Sites
The client runs two sister universities and needed a new site for both. I was responsible for the information architecture and page-level content models and layouts. I also planned out a modular design system with their dev team.
