Hi, Iā€™m Ben šŸ‘‹

I am a brand designer and creative strategist with over a decade of experience building brands for organizations committed to doing good. Motivated by a pursuit of excellence, I help businesses take a bold step forward with courageous solutions to reach their goals.

For the past 10 years, I have built and refined brands across numerous industries, serving many clients and organizations. My focus is on strategic design and engaging visuals that help brands connect with their audiences.

Every project should begin with strategic thinking and keeping the audience's needs at the center. Without clear goals and objectives, the end product is at risk of falling short. When a project is aligned strategically from the beginning, all parties can succeed. Most importantly, our teams can genuinely fulfill the intended audience's needs.

I believe in building and investing in those around me, as it multiplies our impact. Whether I am investing in a junior designer at work, collaborating with other creatives, or teaching at a university, I strive to see others grow to serve others. As seasoned designers, we can multiply our talent by building up those around us.

It's important to pursue excellence, not perfection. This is not for our own glory but to succeed with others around us. Success favors the bold, so take courageous steps, strive for the best solution, stay hungry, and remain humble.
