About
Benjamin is a Creative Lead at Airbnb and a screenwriter in New York.
He likes stories about ordinary people trying to hold on to something that matters. Sometimes those stories become films. Sometimes they become advertising. Either way, he hopes they leave people feeling a little more connected to each other than they did before.
He previously worked at Droga5, Wieden+Kennedy, Media Arts Lab, and Observatory.
Most days you’ll find him chasing a great meal, thinking about his next script, or laughing with the people who keep him grounded.
