About Ben Tesch

Designer, developer, leader, and idea factory who creates things people can use and enjoy. I have strong product and design sense, innovative ideas, and a diverse skill set to take an idea from conception to completion — whether leading a team or with my own two hands. I am interested working on big ideas with other people who are smart, have a strong design sense, and care about what they do.
