Hey there, I’m Ben

I’m a vehicle designer in my fourth year of studies at the University of Cincinnati.

I grew up in New England, but moved to the Midwest a few years ago for school. I stumbled upon design while trying to decide on what I wanted to study. I fell in love with it almost immediately. I’d found a way to tackle problems in a unique and challenging way and it’s something that I’ve looked forward to every day since then.

Outside of design, I enjoy cooking as well as mixology. When I don’t have a spatula or a cocktail shaker in my hands, they’re usually replaced by a paintbrush or more recently a camera.

Professionally, I’ve completed 2 internships for Crown Equipment designing forklifts and other warehouse equipment. During summer 2020, I took concept art classes through the Brainstorm school and worked on other design-adjacent skills. After that, I spent spring of 2021 designing boats by Daytona Beach, Florida for Boston Whaler under the Brunswick group.

I’m currently still in Florida working for BRP doing advanced marine and power-sports design. I’m always open for freelance work or other commissions so please reach out!
