APPROACH
Design is an organic process. Ideas are constantly evolving into different mediums and audiences. BMD will work with you through all the phases that are familiar and guide you on those that are new.
BMD prides itself on adopting a well-defined process throughout the lifetime of its projects. This involves some give and take on both sides, but largely results in establishing milestones and satisfying expectations. Working in a manner that allows for open communication and the respect of diverse ideas is at the forefront of a working relationship. BMD will provide its expertise where appropriate, search for answers when necessary, and always support client initiatives.
Principal / Creative Director
With nearly 15 years of experience designing and managing projects, Benjamin has diversity working on both the client and agency side. He's worked on large scale e-commerce websites while at Gap Inc., concepting and art directing seasonal campaigns and photo shoots, managing teams, and driving creative strategy.
After moving on to full-time consulting, Benjamin has continued his focus on the interactive space and working with diverse clientele. In addition to the clients served by BMD, he also enjoys ongoing contract work with several agencies in the San Francisco and San Jose areas on accounts ranging from retail to hi-tech.
Benjamin received a B.S. in Applied Art & Design from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
Ben is married and the proud father of two children. When not spending time with the family, he loves playing and watching soccer and doing just about anything active.
