Ben Pham

en Pham a self-starter would be a considerable understatement. Before finishing his graphic design degree, he maintained prestigious clients like San Francisco Ballet, San Francisco Symphony and Stanford to pay his tuition, and was even offered a design position a year prior to graduation. A perpetual early riser (4:30am!) with infinite energy we wish we could bottle, Ben looks at every day as an opportunity to do great things. As a leader of the design and strategy teams, Ben likes to draw inspiration from unexpected places, relying on his personal motto of “look in the wrong place to find the right answer.” While at Character, Ben has worked with numerous brands including Adobe, Uber, Facebook, Google, Samsung, Nike, Fitbit and Amazon. When he’s not in the studio in search of the next big idea, he can be found advising young entrepreneurs, snowboarding in Tahoe, cooking for friends at his home in Oakland or relaxing with his wife Tish (Character co-founder) and their adorable Yorkie, Wally.
