Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a Designer and Webflow Developer—an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in the creative sector and a project track record with heavyweights like Lufthansa, Bosch, and Deutsche Telekom.

Growing up in Germany (Flensburg) before moving to Hungary at age 15. Heavy culture shock accompanied by invasive dreams of becoming the next Alejandro Jodorowsky.

“This is my grid. There are many grids like it, but this one is mine. My grid is my best friend. It is my life. I must master the grid as I must master my life. Without me, my grid is useless. Without my grid I am useless…”

Worked heavily in DTP and print design for the Budapest gastronomy sector (Gundel, Spoon, Robinson) and brands like Subaru, Suzuki and Carion Holding.

Co-founded a Cymetriq with Daniel Frölich, with the goal of reforming the creative industry (obviously).

‍The reality: renting two desks in a cave, surviving on ramen, and accepting work from absolutely anyone willing to pay us any amount of money.

Hired by Carnation (now Possible Worldwide) to design websites and Flash banners, working alongside early versions of now-design-legends Roland Hídvégi, Balázs Kovács and Robert Farkas.

Returned to a now-respected Cymetriq (cheers Daniel) as, focusing on web design, CI, and print. I designed Comedy Central’s Hungarian website, won "Website of the Year 2009" for AegonDirect (now Alfa), and took home awards for half a dozen Flash sites that no longer exist (thanks Steve).

Founded my own agency to reform the creative industry (again). Unfortunately, the notorious 2010 regime change in Hungary, with Viktor Orbán 2.0 immediately redirecting EU funds away from our clients to his plumber, resulted in widespread bankruptcy, taking my little fox down with it.

Armed with a newborn child and a defunct company, I pivoted to the DACH market by demoralizing the competition on design contest sites.

‍Result: a solid client base in Germany and Switzerland.

Discovered by international HR firm Prodata (now emagine) and exported to Bonn as a Senior Designer at Telekom Design to explore eCommerce solutions at the dawn of responsive design.

4-hour coffee breaks, 2-hour meetings about other meetings, working after everybody went home. I also developed my ongoing conspiracy theory that SCRUM is industrial sabotage disguised as a service.

Moved back to Budapest, working remotely for Telekom (UI design for Telekom Apps and prototyping Magenta TV – Telekom’s Streaming Platform – in Webflow) while freelancing for SMEs in the DACH region and the US.

One of my biggest achievements to date: successfully maintaining my design operations from a nightliner while on a month-long European tour with my stoner rock band Hot Beaver, supporting cult band Ektomorf. Editing the music video for our track Static Matter is my absolute favorite film project to date, which also left me with the highly specific ability to recite every line of dialog of Plan 9 From Outer Space from memory.

Another adventure via emagine, Sapient-Nitro (now Publicis Sapient) working as a Senior Designer in Köln (Cologne) on UI for the Lufthansa App and the 2016 Bosch.com rebranding, including prototyping in Webflow.

Handpicking me for their first Partner batch, Webflow effectively bought me a house during the next 5 years (I may never speak ill of Webflow, ever, but if they make one more change to the interface, I am seriously considering reverting to Microsoft Frontpage.).

100+ Full Webflow Projects, maintenance and updates for myriads of existing Webflow sites. Clients mostly from the US and DACH region and a really weird guy from Norway. He had enigmatic requests that seemed to ignore the limits of Euclidean geometry. And he made me replace a font that was totally cool with a cheap one. That is not something I take lightly.

While freelancing, I started offering weekend Webflow Crash Courses to digital agencies, mostly in Germany, until Covid was engineered for the sole purpose of shutting down my lucrative business venture.

I took a long break between 2022 and 2024 to deal with some rather serious health issues. This also gave me a chance to revalue and recalibrate my life and my job.

• My 14-year-old daughter called me a “fascist tool” in perfect English the other day (so proud).
• I now work strictly on one project at a time in a bid to extend my lifespan.
• I built my own Webflow framework, FLO, to reform the creative industry (again).
• My clients are mostly based in the US and Germany, and will hopefully soon include YOU. :)
