I’m passionate about what I do.

I started Benji Does because I genuinely enjoy helping businesses look their best. It brings me immense satisfaction to take a brand and elevate it to its full potential. With a strong aesthetic sense and a love for the creative process, I focus on leveling up small businesses—whether it’s establishing brand standards, designing logos, refining messaging, or brainstorming fresh ideas. This is what I love, and I live for the creative challenge of bringing it all together.

You gotta have a "Why"

Digital marketing doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

If you’re feeling unsure about it, you’re in the right place! Together, we can break down marketing into actionable steps that make sense for your business. I believe that high-quality work, done with good intentions and fair value, should always be accessible. Unfortunately, many businesses end up paying high fees to large agencies or face complicated processes that don’t deliver. At Benji Does, I keep things simple, direct, and creative—without the smoke and mirrors. My goal is to help you grow your business with smart, results-driven solutions.

By hiring me you’ll support a veteran owned small business.

Experience

I've worn lots of hats for private business owners, franchisors & franchisees, marketing departments, advertising agencies, pastors, and vendors in healthcare, information technology, mining, houses of worship, production studios, education, and live performers.

Multimedia Design is Design Literacy

Looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. Talks like a duck.

Everywhere. All the time.

I create deliverables with mixed multimedia to tell stories, sell products, share ideas and information, to entertain and influence people online and offline, in print and for digital display. Looking your best and speaking with one voice, unified and cohesive across platforms is called identity.
