Hi, I’m Ben, a digital designer specializing in motion graphics who thrives on collaboration and creative problem-solving. I'm passionate about three things— 1. Animating digital interfaces 2. Kinetic typography 3. Adding energy and personality to design through motion Together, they shape the way I turn ideas into visuals people remember. I’m a digital designer specializing in motion design, from 2D animation and explainer videos to UI animation, kinetic typography, and branded content. My work blends motion graphics, visual design, sound, and interactive elements. I grew up near Toronto and now live in Vancouver, where I’m studying motion graphics at Vancouver Film School, graduating in August 2025. My creative path began in high school when I started a small clothing business. Designing promotional material led me to Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and eventually After Effects, where I found my passion for motion design. When I’m not creating digital work, I’m sewing, working on my car, spending time with family at the cottage, or traveling. I enjoy collaborating on projects with other designers, but also love developing new individual workflows. Skilled in After Effects, Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Logic Pro X, I design for web, mobile, and social platforms, producing everything from artistic animations to clean, corporate content. Let’s connect.
