So, who is this guy?
Benjamin Armstrong is a creative storyteller with a concentration on Training & Development and visual design. He is a husband and father, and dabbles in coffee roasting, illustration, and exploring the deeper meanings of human existence.
All it takes is being human to understand that symbols are more powerful than all the facts in the universe. We understand and communicate through symbols. The words we speak are symbols. For Benjamin, design is the ability to take these incredible symbols, and concentrate them into powerful and meaningful narratives that enrich the lives of the community that he serves.
