Ben Niehues IV
Architecture begins with understanding.
It’s a way of shaping the systems people live inside. Right now I’m applying it to my life and to the products I build. I’m still figuring out what connects them.
Epigraph
· Virgil Abloh
“Young architects can change the world by not building buildings.”
The work
- Cellopack is live at cellopack.xyz, a trust profile for collectors. I built it solo in three weeks, from a plan I’d scoped at nine months.
- I lead User Experience at CommunityAmerica Credit Union.
If you’re building something people have to trust, I’d want to hear about it.

Remembering my old friend Allen Bailey, gone at 37. We met young in Kansas City, chasing different dreams, built something together, and kept crossing paths across the years.
