ABOUT
The Artist (In Spirit)
I'm Ben Provost
he/him | designer | creature | person
My experience runs the gamut from art direction through production, for clients both big and small. Regular branding projects I work on include design systems, lettering, type design, illustration, and work for motion and web.
It was 300 Years ago to this very night when I single-handedly forged and manually coded this very website from electricity, blood and Javascript.
I have worked entirely remotely since 2019, and thus know well the often mysterious rituals of digital communication.
Coming off of an agency sabbatical to help care for the health of my partner, I am actively on the hunt for a full-time agency or in-house role. Let's chat!
