About me

Hi, i'm Ben. A designer based in London. Currently designing at Lazy Oaf My practice spans Graphic Design, Art Direction, and Creative. Previously at ‘Depop’, I helped shape the bold, unapologetic identity of the brand, working on global brand marketing campaigns, experiential events and projects for partners such as Ralph Lauren, Cartoon Network, and Slumpy Kev. My personal projects are inspired by Pop and LGBTQ+ culture, exploring ‘identity’ through colour, typography, and expressive composition. Currently available for freelance and collaboration opportunities.
