Ben is a core designer for WordPress.org. He’s designed thousands of icons for WP, including the current Dashicons that we see in the wp-admin. He’s a full-time professor at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, and a designer for Field 2, his design consultancy.
He teach WordPress nearly every day & see many opportunities for the WP community be better teachers, but not many resources. Hopefully his talk will change that!
He’s organized and spoken at 3 Buffalo WordCamps, WCNY, and WCSF & runs a bi-weekly WordPress users meetup group.
