About Me

My name is Ben Stooke, I am an Industrial Designer and Product Visualizer from Ottawa, ON, Canada. I am currently working as a Freelance/Contract Designer and Visualizer on various projects.

I am a Carleton University graduate of Industrial Design. I have taken a broad range of classes to learn about many different fields and become more proficient at communicating. I'm interested in many different strands of design. I like exploring different design ideas and often browsing the internet for new design inspiration.

In my free time I read books about business, workflow, and self improvement. I also enjoy messing around in different programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Solidworks, Keyshot, etc.) to learn more about them.
