About me

Behind the market-shaping, award-winning, iconic designs pioneered by JDO's boundary-pushing creative director is a refreshingly simple ethos: craftsmanship, creative solutions and design that makes life better.

Never far away from his next cult-status campaign, Ben has elevated brands like L'Oréal, Peroni and Dove to the top of their sectors. Yet there's no room for elitism in his approach, just the creation of tangible, engaging and emotionally resonant design that enables brands to get ahead and stay ahead.

Many of the skills that set Ben's work apart were honed working on beauty and cosmetics campaigns in Japan. In fast-paced Tokyo, his product design background and one-foot-in-the-future intuition fitted perfectly into an industry hungry for fresh ideas.

At JDO, Ben ensures creativity and imaginative execution remain at the fore, whether that's delivering world-class creative solutions for global giants or helping boutique brands make their mark in style.
