My name is Ben Gillbanks, and I am a WordPress developer, web designer, and part-time Entrepreneur. I was formerly the Director of Web Development at Miniclip.com (2004 – 2015) and now I run Brush Ninja, a suite of browser based creative tools.

About Me

I was born in 1980 in the South East of England – I have since moved to the South West of England where I live with my wonderful wife. At university I studied Digital Arts with Multimedia computing and I graduated with a first class honours degree.

My original goal was to be a 3d artist but university introduced me to web design and I haven’t looked back since.
