Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Sharman is a freelance designer and co-founder of Parametrica with 12 years' experience blending computational design, creative coding and hands-on fabrication to produce interactive media installations and spatial experiences. Skilled in Rhino/Grasshopper, Processing, Arduino and TouchDesigner, he translates data-driven concepts into kinetic, light and sound work as well as award-winning built commissions like Chelsea Flower Show stands. Comfortable across frontend-focused coding and back-end maintenance contributions (including work on Elixir password-hashing tooling), he bridges the gap between prototype electronics and polished gallery or commercial installations. London-based and educated in Interior Architecture, Ben pairs material sensibility from furniture and exhibition builds with a practice-led curiosity for generative art and playful interaction design.
