A sharp strategic thinker, exceptional art-director, and Westfalia owner, all with a monstrous work ethic. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Ben to the team.

Most recently, he led the brand and creative teams within Marine Layer Clothing. There, he helped define, manage, and lead the execution of every visual channel for the company – from digital to content to retail experience.

Additionally, he was responsible for the creative and launch of The Lost & Found Collection, a project 10 years in the making — publishing lost archives of film photography from sub-cultures such as surf, music, and outdoors, to name a few.

Most recently, Frank spent several years working freely across some of SF’s leading design firms, innovation networks, and startups to brand new inventions. These engagements ranged from wearables, gaming, data analytics, clean energy, and robotic manufacturing to hyper-personalized nutrition and hyperspeed transportation (as well as several stealth ventures).

Previously, Frank led brand strategy at the global consultancy Landor in the US and across Asia-Pacific. Over the years, his clients included Citibank, Chevron, Electronic Arts, PepsiCo, Hyundai, Toyota and Taj Hotels among others.

Frank has worked in Germany, the UK, Singapore, Australia, and Japan, helped start up a digital Joint Venture in Tokyo, and once backpacked around the world for 2 years.

A self-confessed futurist with a degree in Design & Business, he is interested in articulating the creative strategy for new ideas and exploring their potential for a better world.
