We've had a bit of a lull on the placement front over the past few months so we thought it was about time we had a fresh face in the studio to bring in the spring. Ben joins us after graduating with First Class Honours from the University of Central Lancashire and a stint of placements everywhere from our neighbours The Chase to London's finest, The Partners.

Ben's clever concepts and impressive work have been recognised by D&AD a number of times and he's already a familiar face at some of the UK's best design studios. We've picked out a few of our favourites from his portfolio here or if you fancy a nosey at some more of his work head over to his website.
