Game Designer Ben Miller graduated from the Art Institute of Phoenix with a bachelor’s degree in game design. After a short stint at a small publisher working on hunting games, doing graphic design, and putting together proposals for various high profile intellectual properties, he packed his bags and moved up to Seattle to work on the original Guild Wars. Most notably Ben was the campaign lead for Guild Wars: Nightfall, and Eye Of The North. On Guild Wars 2, Ben has been a secret agent of sorts, working on everything from Audio to UI\UX to MTX and beyond.
