Steve Benjamin ┃ Crafting Websites Through Design & Development
MY STORY
Born and raised in Lausanne, Switzerland, my journey into the world of media engineering began with a natural curiosity for understanding the inner workings of electronic devices. This fascination propelled me towards pursuing a bachelor’s degree in media engineering, where I’ve honed a versatile skill set encompassing technical expertise, economic insight, design acumen, and strategic acuity. This interdisciplinary approach has shaped me into a dynamic problem-solver, equipped to tackle diverse challenges in the ever-evolving landscape of digital innovation.
In my academic endeavors, I’ve had the opportunity to translate my passion for technology into tangible projects that highlight my proficiency in web design and development. From creating a website dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of the South Indian film industry to promoting sustainable consumerism through an eco-friendly cosmetic products platform, I’ve leveraged tools like WordPress, Figma, Canva, and the Adobe Suite to bring creative visions to life. Through these projects, I’ve cultivated a keen eye for blending aesthetics with functionality, striving to deliver captivating digital experiences that resonate with audiences.
Beyond the confines of academia, I find inspiration in pursuits like basketball, Rubik’s cube solving, and literature, which fuel my creativity and offer valuable perspectives outside the realm of technology. Looking ahead, I’m driven by a vision of transitioning into a project management role, where I can leverage my technical expertise and leadership abilities to spearhead transformative digital initiatives. With aspirations to contribute to industry-leading mobile tech companies like Samsung or Google, I remain steadfast in my commitment to pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and shaping the future of digital innovation
