About Ben

Ben has been fascinated with the world of design from a young age. Not only did he have an appreciation for the emotional and physical appearance of design, but how great design enhanced the functionality and livability of the spaces. Growing up, Ben was obsessed with Legos and the endless creative possibilities they presented. Through Ben’s time at his father’s construction sites, he was able to experience the process of how luxury projects went from the design phase to the fulfillment of the client’s vision.

Ben’s passion for design led him to one of the best interior design programs in the country, The University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP). Ben excelled at UC and loved the diversity of his co-op work experiences, including two semesters working on luxury yachts with JQB Design, a well-respected yacht designer. Upon graduation, Ben worked at a large Cincinnati design firm where he gained valuable experience working on a combination of commercial and luxury residential projects. It was this job experience that solidified Ben’s focus towards luxury residential interior design. Ben is certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and a previous board member of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA).
