benjamin humphrey


My name is Benjamin Humphrey and i'm a kiwi design student, web and graphic designer, pilot, blogger, musician and photographer, studying in Dunedin, New Zealand.

I listen to the Dave Matthews Band, I run Ubuntu on my laptop and my server, and I'm the founder and leader of the Ubuntu Manual Project. I've got my Private Pilots Licence, play the drums, trumpet and guitar and I take photographs of people and things.

I grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand and went to St Andrew's College for thirteen years from 1995 to 2008. During my time at high school I won the computer web design prize two years in a row and played the trumpet and drums for the school big band and concert band. In 2006 I was awarded the Ross Macpherson young eagles flying scholarship, and consequently gained my private pilots licence in July of 2007 at the Canterbury Aero Club.

In 2009 I moved to Dunedin and started a degree in design at Otago University. Nowadays I spend my time studying for university, taking photographs, playing guitar and contributing to Ubuntu.
