Welcome! My name is Ben Noetzel-Kiers

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction at IU Indianapolis, and I live in Indianapolis with my family (and four chickens). I'm an avid hobbyist, and when I'm not prototyping or programming, I'm baking, cooking, fermenting, reading, gaming, or homelabbing.

As a UX Designer, I care about creating clean and functional interfaces. My top priority is translating user needs into actionable design decisions through research and iterative prototyping.

And no, I have not always been a UX designer

Before starting my Master's, I finished a Bachelor's in Graphic Design from Taylor University. I filled a variety of roles while in school, from studio artist assistant to clay-mixer to barista. I've never shied away from learning new skills, and I love seeing how those skills carry over into other areas of my life.

I doodle and code

For me, HCI represents the intersection of two things that I love doing: programming and designing. Whether I'm building websites, visualizing data, or testing rapid prototypes, I pull on my past experiences to deliver functional and user-friendly products.
