DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
With over 20 years in the industry, my fine arts background in fashion design inspires a fusion of art and fashion; elevating menswear and illustration through expressive color, graphic beauty, and refined ease. My work embodies sophistication with clarity, purpose, and a deeply intentional visual language.
DESIGN APPROACH
My approach is rooted in meticulous attention to color, pattern, and texture; transforming nuanced, even abstract ideas into visually innovative and emotionally resonant design.

PEER REVIEW
"Ben was my manager for ~3 years... I couldn't have asked for a better mentor... He led by example and challenged me with projects... required me to skillfully navigate through cross functional relationships... Ben is direct, always asks the right questions, challenges ideas when needed, and of course never fails to add some fun/humor into the workplace!"
