Hi there!
Hi, I’m Ben, a designer and artist currently living in the beautiful Wairarapa, New Zealand.
Growing up in the stunning Hawke's Bay, inspired by New Zealand’s beauty and my faith, I developed a deep love for creativity.
I have enjoyed a career in graphic and product design, but my true passion is art. Art, for me, is a way to relax and explore pure creative instinct.
While I appreciate traditional acrylic and oil techniques, I currently blend contemporary digital, photographic, and mixed media styles.
The name of my ‘brand’ came from an interesting backstory: multiple friends had an uncanny tendency to mispronounce mine and my partners names as ‘Blend.’ It stuck and I have since embraced this as the perfect name for my creative endeavors.
When I am not being ‘creative’, I spend my time with my partner walking our two rescue dogs, or looking for vintage bargains in our local thrift stores.
I hope my designs bring joy and a moment of mindfulness to your day!
How we work
Blend Designs uses a print-on-demand (POD) business model.
Our printing partners have fulfilment centres across the globe. While some items may be printed and shipped within New Zealand, our partners will choose the best location for fulfilment based on the availability at the time of ordering.
Our products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, as well as helping to keep our prices lower, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
