BENJAMIN CARROLL.
NZ BASED CREATIVE,
ART DIRECTOR AND ILLUSTRATOR
Hello! My name is Benjamin and I’m a Creative & Art Director working and living in Auckland. I’m currently working as a contract creative Art Director who is blessed to spend most of his billable hours building global creative campaigns for a brand you’re probably wearing.
In the nine years I’ve spent as an advertising creative I’ve worked closely with clients who have big problems and little budgets to clients with big problems and big budgets.
Amongst all of that I’ve also enjoyed testing myself and my ideas by creating and visualising small creative projects for boutique clients, friends, musicians, and myself. Just keep on scrolling to see it all.

PERSONAL WORK:
MOSTLY ILLUSTRATION AND ANIMATION
Always drawn, always drawing.
Making my version of the world with anything that leaves a mark, analog or digital.
SIDE MISSIONS.
I like to keep busy.
So here’s some of the work I do that doesn’t come from some random person in a marketing department. These are those 'random-conversation-turned-brief' type jobs.

I love using tactile elements to bring creative ideas to life, so naturally I've come to love the organic rawness that’s communicated with hand drawn letters.
