I enjoy what I do.

I started Benji Does because it gives me great pleasure to make businesses look incredible, nothing stresses me out more than to see someone struggling to do my simple job! I have a strong aesthetic sense and I genuinely enjoy my creative process; leveling up small businesses, establishing their brand standards, creating logos, communicating with audiences, developing business processes, refining brand messaging, brainstorming ideas and bringing them to life. I live for this stuff.

Digital Marketing isn't hard.

If you disagree with me then you're in the right place. You and I both appreciate it when things are done well, in good faith, for commensurate value. Unfortunately for many of my clients, that means you have to pay tons of cash to faceless design teams with crazy overhead to get what you're looking for. Many creative agencies are smoke and mirrors, weak digital advertisers with little to no focus on creative that means something. Come at me.

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.
