Summary
👤
SeniorBen Peterson is a Principal UX Designer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering user-centered products and services across complex public-sector ecosystems. He combines service design, user research, UX/UI craft, and product strategy to create impactful experiences for high-traffic services like login.gov and new initiatives such as findtreatment.gov and a 10x venture studio concept.
