My name is Ben. I am a visual designer hailing from Abilene, Texas specializing in holistic branding across print and web. When I’m not designing for branding, I enjoy the fine art of painting, videography and photography, engineering design of moving mechanisms, and woodworking projects.
It probably goes without saying, I really like creating things. You can peruse samples of my work below.
Currently, I am available to work some of my finest craft for you. Drop me a line to start the conversation about making your creative project idea come alive.
Omni Fellowship
I enjoyed creating a logo and style guides for Omni Fellowship, my local church located in Cedar Hill, Texas. Below is description of each part of the logo from the Omni Fellowship social media post about it. “The logo includes three interlocking loops made up of one strand, representing the unity in the Trinity; that […]
Pro-Life Mavericks
Pro-Life Mavericks is the Pro-Life student organization on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. My sister and I started this organization in 2014 with 3 other friends and it has quickly grown. The organization is founded on the conviction that every human being has equal intrinsic value and worth, even those human […]
Brushstrokes of the Designer
This film project was based on time-lapse footage of sunrises and sunsets up and down the country. Because all we had was a basic point-and-shoot Canon camera, each image in the time lapse was taken manually every 30 seconds for half an hour to an hour as the sun set. The time-lapse footage was then […]
Skyscapes
One evening, my good friend Tim and I jumped the fence across the street from Dallas Baptist University. Our mission: to take photos of the sun as it set over the lake for our short film project, “Brushstrokes of the Designer“. The image this acrylic painting is based on, came from this particular time-lapse session. […]
Carlton Wedding
I had the unique joy and privilege of creating the style guide and branding elements for my wife’s and my wedding. The first decision was selecting a set of fonts and the rest of the brand was built around these and the subtle color provided by eucalyptus leaves. The themes of joy, light, and the […]
Restore Church
While living in Arlington, Texas I enjoyed being a part of and growing with the Restore Church community. During this time, I had the privilege of refreshing the church’s branding and overhauling the website design.

This project had the goal of capturing the essence of the Ivy […]
Breakthrough Dog Training

In this project, I worked closely with Eli to customize his simple, yet effective website that enables him to gather vital first-hand information from his prospective clients and their furry friends. […]
Flight
This fine-art project sought to apply the medium of acrylic paint to communicate a profound reality. The use of the chiaroscuro juxtaposition of light and dark builds a dramatic scene that initially draws the viewer to soak in overflowing rays of sunlight that pour through the dark clouds. The piece communicates gravity and the vast […]
