Ben Shearn is a senior creative producer and multidisciplinary designer with 30+ years bridging bold creative vision and buildable reality — bringing defense-grade rigor to creative production, and creative industry innovation to technical programs. An early adopter of generative AI tools, he integrates them directly into his design workflows to enhance creative ideation and reduce video project turnaround time by 300% or more.

​

Ben's work spans two worlds that rarely overlap: entertainment, live events, and large-scale experiential design — from designing and accurately previsualizing large stages at Electric Daisy Carnival to large-scale kinetic art installations at Coachella, including the iconic Astronaut — and high-stakes U.S. Defense and Space programs requiring real-time, data-driven visualization. In both worlds, the challenge is the same: take an ambitious creative vision, align every stakeholder around it, and deliver something that performs under pressure.
