What People Say
I love Design Lobster for its concise format, its oddball sensibility, and its good-natured curiousness about the world around it. Ben works as a designer in his day job, and his essays are the product of a practitioner at work. If you’re interested in design, or are simply looking for a thought-provoking mental health break in your inbox, I can’t recommend it enough.

About Me
My name is Ben Strak and I work as a Product Designer at a startup bank called Monzo here in London. Before getting stuck into pixels, I studied and worked in the world of architecture. I’m here to share my excitement about the history and future of design with you every week. Plus the odd lobster 😜
In Summary
Whatever you do, keep discovering. 🦞
