I'm Ben, a brand identity designer based in Toronto. I spent five years at Girl Effect / Nike Foundation working on Ni Nyampinga, one of Rwanda's most widely distributed youth brands, before moving to North America. I now run Forte Design Studio, working with growth-stage companies and mission-driven organizations that are ready to look as credible as they actually are.

I've always been drawn to work that matters, whether that's branding for impact organizations, designing for nonprofits making real change, or helping tech founders articulate their vision to investors. I bring strategic thinking, a decade of experience, and a belief that the strongest brands are the ones with real integrity between what they are and how they show up.
