I also have experience in digital marketing/advertising, such as Web Advertising, Email Blasts, Digital Billboards, etc. Hello, my name is Benjamin Van Buren and I'm a graphic designer. I’ve made my living as a professional graphic designer for over two decades now, the latter half spent running my own business. I’ve built my client base almost exclusively around former colleagues and their referr
als, successfully managing to exceed their expectations while still working efficiently enough to save them both time and money. I pride myself on the quality of work I’m able to provide as well as the relationships I’ve been able to cultivate over years of collaboration—a collaboration built upon trust and an intuitive understanding of client needs. No job too big: I specialize in all manner of print-based design, from POP to brand identity to full-blown ad campaigns. As client needs have branched into web and social media advertising, so too have I. Concept to completion: I’ve concepted numerous ad campaigns for others to sell & run with as well as others that I’ve held on to from beginning to end, some for multiple years. Most notably, I helped create Cancer Knows No Borders, a 16-week multi-state cancer awareness series featuring Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs and Jonathan Lucroy of the Milwaukee Brewers. Seen a million faces, rocked them all: I’ve provided services for a wide range of clients, from small local businesses to larger nationwide companies. My client list has included: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/JSOnline, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Gannett Wisconsin Media/USA Today Network-Wisconsin, The Penny Hoarder, Red Shoes Inc., Chicago Tribune and Heritage University to name a few. I am actively seeking long-term freelancing opportunities as well as full time placement.
