Hi, I’m Ben.

I'm an art director based in New York, creating visual identities and integrated campaigns for brands ranging from startups to global companies. My work spans branding, digital, print, retail, and experiential design, with an emphasis on building clear, adaptable visual systems that solve creative problems rather than simply decorate them.

I've contributed to work for brands including Nintendo, Marriott, Keurig Dr Pepper, and the New York Yankees, and have designed every cover of the peer-reviewed Journal of Russian American Studies since its inaugural issue in 2017. Whether developing a campaign's key visual or extending an established identity across dozens of deliverables, I enjoy finding simple, thoughtful solutions to complex creative challenges.

Outside the studio, I'm a runner, an avid reader, and someone who enjoys slowing down as much as speeding up—usually with fresh bread in the oven, a cup of green tea nearby, and my cat, Muki, never too far away. Those routines keep me curious, grounded, and always looking for the next good idea.
