Hey! I’m Ben Lueders and I use illustration, design and words to bring ideas to life.

(I’m also working on my first children’s book!)

You could say I juggle a lot of hats.

(And sometimes mix metaphors.)

 

Illustrator

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been drawing. I do less Ninja Turtles and Star Wars doodles now but it’s still just as fun and exciting as ever. Actually, it’s even better because people pay me to draw now!

Designer

Creating custom illustrations for folks led me to founding Fruitful – a design and strategy agency that specializes in creating branding, websites and messaging rooted in the magic of problem-solving and storytelling.

Author

One day, a crazy brainstorm session with my three boys got out of hand and we started creating creatures, characters and scenes that have become the backbone of a children’s book I’m working on. It’s called Terikiak.

 

Here’s some cool stuff that I’ve illustrated:

(Calm down, there’s plenty more to see.)

My work has helped a bunch of sweet brands:

I’m writing and illustrating a super exciting children’s book right now.

(A future New York Times Bestseller, to be sure.)
