About Ben Nash

Ben Nash, a visionary Full Stack Creator based in Cincinnati, Ohio, marries design, code, and artistic flair to craft digital products, websites, fabricated signage, art, music, and video content. Born in Ohio, raised in North Carolina, and seasoned by the innovative spirits of San Francisco and Austin, Ben's diverse background fuels his creative endeavors.

An alumnus of NCSU's School of Design, Class of '97, Ben earned his stripes in Industrial Design. His career trajectory took him from the multidisciplinary design firm Bolt Group in Charlotte, NC, to freelance opportunities on the West Coast, eventually leading to a passion for web design and development in the early 2000s. Ben's eclectic career includes roles with heavyweights like frog and VMWare, enhancing their marketing through his designs.

Ben’s creativity knows no bounds, and he's been recognized as a Webby award nominee for his work on a financial educational website. His inventive genius is also patent-approved, with four patents to his name, including a utility patent for a novel cup holder designed for a major beverage company.

As a Full Stack Developer by day and an artist by night, Ben is a force to be reckoned with in both domains. He is an expert frontend developer, UX designer, and an accomplished artist using AI tools, embodying his mantras: "Form Follows Function, Add Style" and "Thinking Big and Iterating Daily."

Beyond his development work, Ben contributes financially to open-source web development tools and is a luminary in Cincinnati's burgeoning AI scene. His expertise extends to leading intellectual conversations about AI and AI art on various social media platforms, including hosting thought-provoking Twitter Spaces.

Ben's adventurous spirit has taken him to 49 states, across South America's backpacking trails, and through Australia's vast expanses. These experiences have broadened his perspectives, now channeled into exploring AI tools — a testament to his insatiable curiosity and dedication to lifelong learning.

Looking ahead, Ben aspires to advance the concept of a Full Stack Creator, integrating his industrial design skills, web prowess, and artistic and musical talents. His growing influence in the online AI community marks the next chapter in his journey, where he aims to inspire and lead at the intersection of technology and art.
