About Ben Kates
Nice to meet you! I\'m Ben, I\'m currently a Senior Data Designer at Method, a global product design and data consulting firm. I use product-centric methodologies to design data solutions for clients across industries. Before Method, I was a Senior Data Visualization Developer at the Urban Institute. I helped communicate research findings by building data visualizations for Urban features, Urban Wire posts, and other Urban products using JavaScript (Svelte, D3.js, React) and R (tidyverse, ggplot2). I am also a co-organizer of the Philadelphia Data Visualization Meetup. Before joining Urban in February 2023, I worked with clients across industries as a Senior Data Analyst at analytics consulting firm CompassRed (acquired by LabWare in 2022) after starting my career as an eCommerce Analyst with Fortune 500 Retailer Burlington (formerly Burlington Coat Factory) in 2015. Whether it\'s working with teams in research, non-profits, ecommerce, state & county government, professional services, healthcare, and more, understanding client needs and building them great data products and visualizations is close to my heart! I am based in Philadelphia, PA, make music on my YouTube channel, and play saxophone in my band Therapy Dawg!
