About Me

I am a creative director and designer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I joined Blink in 2018 as part of an acquisition of Tectonic, an experience design studio where I was creative director since 2013. Previously, I’ve worked on future design concepts at Microsoft’s Envisioning Lab and as an exhibit designer at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Currently Head of Design at Blink UX and Blink’s Boston studio in Cambridge, MA. He leads a team of multidisciplinary designers, strategists, and researchers on design system and brand projects with ambitious partners including Amazon, eBay, Microsoft, and NASA. Ben is also a part-time lecturer at Northeastern University teaching the design processes. With over a decade of design and creative leadership experience, Ben’s strengths encompass championing a human-centered design process with collaboration at the core, transforming concepts into a product vision, and designing at the delta of interaction, visual, and motion design.
