Production Designer
With five feature film and four major television series credits as Production Designer, Ben now has a BAFTA nomination to add to his resume. He’s just wrapped on CBS’s forthcoming eleventh century epic ‘King and Conqueror’ and with commercials for brands including McDonalds, Gucci, L’Oréal, Toyota and MG behind him, Ben’s experience can truly be said to be rounded. Well liked and well regarded by all who have worked with him, Ben is based in London and is happy to go where the work takes him.

I CAME BY
Production Designer
"It's been an absolute honour and delight to work with Ben and his team. He had the challenge of creating a period drama within a tight budget, and overseeing a precise rebuild of some iconic TV sets from the 1980s, and he did so with precision, insight, imagination, and a lot of fun, too. The whole show looks gorgeous. It's been a joy."
