Hi, I’m Ben. I am a massive music and gaming fan (one of these days I’ll make a company playlist…). Sadly, I do not own a dog (yet) but I adore Pugs and Labs. My work revolves around asset creation; I love being able to jump from static to moving image and I’m constantly excited by evolving art forms and styles, which is why Creative Crawley is a brilliant fit for me. We’re so often provided the opportunity to be varied creatively, no two projects are ever the same. Most importantly, the other members of the team are exceptional at what they do, so there’s never a lack of support and inspiration.
