Welcome to the personal website for Ben Miller: graduate student at Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center and videogame designer.
I am currently working on Project iDev: A student pitched project that is focused on exploring new areas of meaningful play on the iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices.
This past summer I worked as a design intern at Insomniac Games.

Short Bio
I first fell in love with videogames when I played River Raid on the Atari 2600 at the tender age of five. Since that moment, I have followed the videogame industry passionately and pursued a career in game design for as long as I can remember.
Along the way, I studied English and Computer Science at the University of Virginia where I learned to merge my love for literature and the fine arts with videogames. I believe that videogames hold the potential to become truly great works of art and I don't mind one bit if you make fun of me for it.
I'm currently at Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center studying to be a game designer. I am pursuing a summer internship in game design that will hopefully lead to a co-op in the Fall.
In my previous life I was a project manager for a small software developer that creates educational and medical software to help treat infant heart disease, a web developer, a breakdancer, freelance animator, and a skateboarder (not necessarily in that order).
When I'm not creating, researching, and studying videogames/game design, I am usually reading greek tragedy or comedy, modernist literature, criticising any media I come across, or hanging out with good friends.
