Bio
Liz Oh
Ben is an incredibly gifted poet and writer. As a brand writer he was my partner for nearly every project - from leading strategic worksessions to naming digital products to conducting interviews for user research to writing narratives for global brands. I cannot emphasize enough the impact that Ben has had on the quality of design that I strive to create. We worked in sync, challenged each other creatively and mentally to create the best possible solutions for our company's most valued clients. He understands the importance and impact of good design and would help ensure that design had the right words to communicate the core message. Always with a mischievous grin and his quick wit (and impressions), Ben has been a good spirited co-collaborator, critic and consultant in all things. Luckily, we will continue to work together on a passion project with any free time that we have to help support local, independent bookstores #cityshelf. I would never tell him this in-person, but I can say that he is one of the most brilliant writers I have ever worked with. His talents are going to be recognized as a famous poet, writer and #ceo in the very near future. I can't wait.
