My name is Ben Hone and I am a first-year PoD student from Hoboken, NJ. Before starting the program, I was the Marketing Manager at a climate-focused startup. Before that, I was Client Services Director at the IPG Media Lab, where I focused on how emerging technology and culture influence consumer behavior. I love to read, play basketball, soccer and golf. I enjoy boardgames and scuba diving. My favorite food is dan dan noodles. When I’m not in school, I’m raising my (almost three-years-old) daughter, Amelia. She’s super in to singing, dancing, Bluey, and bossing me around.
I’m excited to tinker and play in this course. I want to be able to fabricate simple electronic devices and prototypes to bring my ideas to life. I’ve never coded before, and I’m really excited to learn. My Instagram handle is @honedida, but I never post.
This is who I design for:
