Executive Creative Director @ Stink Studios

Faculty Profile

A hands-on creative leader with over fifteen years of experience, Ben manages Stink Studios New York’s UX, design, copy and motion teams and sits across all client engagements. Previously, he spent time at some of the world’s top advertising agencies and digital studios, including Wieden+Kennedy, B-Reel, Mother, R/GA and 72andSunny, building a body of work that stretches from conceptually-led film storytelling to digital products and experiences.
