Hello, I’m Ben – Creative director, graphic designer and lover of beautiful things. I’m creative, typographically talented, hands-on and bloody hard working.
I’ve worked for big brands and worked on even bigger. I look up to my peers and have inspired my colleagues. I love great design (of course) but I'm all about the ideas. I create brands and revitalise others. I’ve over 15 years of experience and can turn my hand to most things - especially tight budgets and tighter deadlines.
I say please & thank you and wash my hands.
Come and say hi.

Head of DesignNewsworks
- London, United KingdomFull Time
Reporting directly to the CEO, my role as Head of Design was created after selling-in & implementing my vision for an internal ‘creative hub’. I brought in a full-time designer and built up a core network of animators, web developers, creatives, illustrators, copywriters, photographers and videographer. As a result, I was able to cost effectively resource projects and increase the creative output for the business.
During this time some of the project highlights included - rebranding the organisation, national ad campaigns, website redesign and animated film - ‘From Newspaper to Newsbrands’.
