About

Hi, I am Ben, a Lighting Designer based just outside of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

With a passion for creating unforgettable live shows, I’ve had the privilege of designing and operating shows for a variety of acts. From world famous artists like the Hothouse Flowers, to high energy cover bands such as Wasted Talent, Arms of Venus De Milo, and Otis and the Elevators, as well as supporting the up and coming Anna’s Number.
