Ben is the calm conductor of MG Strategy + Design’s intricate launches. A former newsroom leader who oversaw design operations for more than 70 publications at Lee Enterprises, he learned early that a project’s success hinges on two things: a clear story and a clear workflow.
Today, as Implementation Lead for MG’s print and digital experiences, Ben shepherds clients from kickoff to go‑live—aligning strategy, design, and development while fine‑tuning design systems and WordPress frameworks so teams can publish with confidence. His leadership on The Onion‘s redesign earned a coveted Society of News Design Award of Excellence for page design.
As he translates storytelling vision into pixel‑perfect reality, Ben keeps cross‑disciplinary teams moving in lockstep. Recent project include a redesign of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission website, story-based microsites for LION Publishers, and UI/UX solutions for Purdue University’s Office of Research. The result: digital experiences that load fast, scale effortlessly, and let the narrative take center stage.
