Me - (I now have much longer hair, be warned)

Welcome explorer. 

I'm Ben, a London-based multidisciplinary designer with a distinct love for great ideas. I have spent most of my time in small studios, which has given me the benefit of working across a huge expanse of projects and disciplines.

My work has always been varied, and is reflected in the type of work I do. From Film title graphics for Award winning Director Kevin MacDonald, to books for the V&A. I thrive in uncertainty and the possibilities it gives.

A big part of my practice also involves non commercial work. I use these projects to delve into areas i’m interested in, learning new skills on the way that I bring into my work.

Alongside design I am co-founder of The Arena, I love long London walks, climbing things, trying to box, deep dives on Reddit, giving out random facts* and finding cool exhibitions on the weekends and take pictures of Lime Bikes in odd positions.
