I am Ben Slater, a multidisciplinary designer and art director based in London. I pride myself on creating visually diverse and highly crafted work. Specialising in digital experiences and platforms but have worked across a great variety of backgrounds including; advertising, print, marketing, branding, product, events and full integrated campaigns. Whilst working at some of the UK’s top agencies and in-house at Twitch I have been able to truly sharpen these skills.
I love to explore approaches and drive the possibilities of what can creatively be achieved and accomplished. My particular personal interests in typography, culture, fashion, music and art, are always in the forefront of my work and inspiration.
