Hi, I'm Ben Davies.

I ask insightful questions and design creative solutions.

Let me help you help others.

About Me

I'm a researcher and data storyteller based in DC who loves turning messy, human data into clear insights and direction.

As a Senior Analyst at KRC Research, I partner with clients like the CDC to help them understand their audiences and improve their messaging. To deepen this work, I’m pursuing a Master of Public Health at GWU with a focus on communication and rebuilding trust in public health.

Previously, I launched an ecommerce site to sell fresh produce from local farms to food deserts in my hometown and helped a tech startup grow from 4 friends into a self-sustaining company.

When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy fermenting things, exploring DC on my bike, and beating my friends in video games.

Redesigning My College's Covid Testing Process

The old process left our health center understaffed and overstressed. So, I redesigned it and removed several key pain points to encourage greater usage from students.
