Benten Woodring
For over nine years, I’ve built and led cross-disciplinary teams with my own business, working for world-class agencies, and creating identities and websites for household name brands, including tech startups and Fortune 500 companies. My work has been featured by Fast Company, Webflow, One Page Love, and more. I am one of the co-founders of footer.design, previously partnered with ADPList to launch my last web design course, and have competed in the first e-sports for web design event with Relume Design League, battling it out against the likes of Fons Mans and others in timed competition. When I'm not drawing rectangles, I like to spend time on my bike and hiking in the mountains with my family.
