Day in the Life of a Designer - Digital Creative Director Ben Burns

[@cascaII]

This is so important to see for all these kids, teens and people who wants to become a designer. Do more of this guys.

[@corbinstack]

Mr Burns - there is nothing better than sharing in the joy of raising your kid. Big respect for you holding down an important job and still making time for the family.

[@SilverHelm19]

Now I've watched some Ben burns videoes. Gotta say, I think you are my new favorite designer, mainly because of your energy and great advice. I feel like you know what people really struggle with

[@torienglish5332]

I love these day in the life videos! I'm going into my third year of graphic design school so it's nice to see what I can look forward to! :) keep it up!

[@shielamariejara9087]

hey! how is it going? im in my first year!!!

[@ahmedmohamed1901]

Tori English I know this is two years ago, but your channel logo/emblem looks amazing! The art style specifically is what really intrigues me! A nice escape from the world of excellent symmetry and order.

[@vagabondcreates7501]

Thanks for being vulnerable and showing everyone your day. As a dad and a hustle minded creative, I can relate with many of the same things. Rock on Mr.Burns.

[@dannyr2976]

Throughout the segment I was most impressed by how well the Nike Swoosh works at small sizes on a display. Ben, you have such an adorable l'il kid!

[@lexdigitals5488]

This video left me speechless. Ben burns you are one of my biggest inspirations, giving me the strength to never give up. Thank you so much

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

I love how he included family life in this video. I always think of successful designers as these single or disconnected people who work all day, buy rec gear online, and look cool because they dont ever show their families. Im a mom of 2 and wife so to see the literally 2 little clips of other spouses with wife and kids, its actually way more encouraging than the rest of the video of work work work. It shows that its possible to find a balance and you can reach your dreams and still spend time working on your marriage and watching your kids grow. I love it! Thank you! Update: I wrote this before I saw the end then you got home. So cool! You seem like someone who really loves his wife, his family, and the important things in life. Im going to start looking to you for inspiration. Thank you! 👋

[@thefutur]

We're glad those clips inspired you. Finding Balance is possible but difficult. It takes a lot of work and it forces tough decisions. Thank you for watching and we will make more videos like this!

[@HugonJuarez]

I love these kinds of behind the scenes episodes!

[@stevenphillips7166]

Thanks for the insight, Ben. Best part was fist bump explosions with your kid, that laughter is priceless!

[@EwelinaWu]

Thanks for sharing Ben. Relaxing to see the designer's reality is so similar all over the world. You have wonderful offices for Blind I must admit - very happy for you. hugs to the entire team and your gorgeous little one

[@davidrbrtsn]

Hi Ben, thanks for sharing this with us. I get the strong sense you have your priorities right and I think it's awesome that you're both relatable and inspirational in the way you juggle all your responsibilities and just go about your day-to-day.

[@emilianostefanach]

"spend 2 o 3 hours on whatever feels right" - Loved. Thanks for sharing Ben

[@joe4u]

I am a working designer and always thought my day was long. Seems like I need to step my game up, Great video Ben. Hustle!!!

[@thefutur]

[@christopherjames5136]

GENTLE GIANT! I will become a dad in 2 months time. First baby. This inspires me become a good provider and a dad. Thank you.

[@pixelandbracket]

Love behind-the-scenes videos, nicely done and entertaining... I remember that live stream!

[@ArtDeCali]

Been waiting for a video like this :D very nice!

[@_Luna____]

Mrbenburns!! this is just pure quality content. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 👌

[@MihaiDolganiuc]

Thanks for this Ben! Happy to see you being an awesome person outside of the company also!

[@danielsteward8688]

One thing I have noticed throughout watching these types of video is that you all seem to love and enjoy your jobs. As a final year Graphic Design student, seeing this makes me so happy and eager to be going in to this industry

[@thefutur]

find a good place where people are happy. it's infectious.

[@erhandsilva5785]

Great vid. Totally feeling the #dadlife timing for everything with my 1.5 yr old toddler. They know when we are the most tired to wake up in the night. The grind continues ...

[@erhandsilva5785]

ha .. same with mine. I usually get the nudge or some garbled up alien language that I always understand as its my turn for the baby.

[@KBOLTZRIDES]

Awesome little insight to your day. Keep up the good Dad work! If I spot you in El Segundo running at night Ill be sure to yell MR.BURNS!!!!

[@anthonygiglio4209]

Thank you so much for this video, I liked a lot!!

That was beautiful I wish I could do that and document it that way. So cool Give us an updated version Mr Ben Burns

[@jonathangonza]

I just have to say how relatable you feel and are, Ben Burns. Nice tunes in the video.

[@anza3275]

I was waiting for this type of content! You always deliver.

[@isaacgoldman6842]

Loved seeing a peek inside the life of Mr. Ben Burns. Lots more to learn I'm sure but thanks for sharing this!

[@jamalrippy8136]

Ben Burns my guy!!!! What up dude? This was a great video man. Great editing, great content. Keep it going.

[@killaTking]

wow that was awesome, such an awesome dad! thanks for sharing your day with us!

[@ASDFKHASDFKASDF]

Thanks for the insight. Very cool. Surprised you get up so early and go to bed so late though! I have an 18-month-old son-it's the best :)

[@RokoDesign]

amazing Ben! you are such a hard dude, only few hours to sleep and so many things done during the day...congrats man!! really inspiring video

[@tasneemabrahams3032]

love! thanks for sharing.

[@inqbes]

Your schedule resonated with me, I too do my running and creative work in the quiet of night, I find it soothing. I’m glad you seem to have found a balance. Also, the conquer wallpaper was a nice touch as well! I keep a banner in my home gym with the same image for inspiration. As a design student I am really enjoying these videos. Thanks for making this content 👍

[@alexbacarella]

I really liked this video ! Really entertaining and want to see more. It would be really cool if you guys did this more often, I can't be the only one who enjoyed the video so much !!

[@thefutur]

looks like lots of people like this kind of content and mr. burns especially.

[@byamberkri]

Love this! Ben, you have been such an inspiration to me as of late. :) This really motivated me to kick it up a notch and don't be afraid to sacrifice sleep. Thank you!! ❤

[@jasonlinn983]

Feel you bro. Right there with you.

[@sharonho754]

I really like this series on the life as a creative working at the Futur. Keep them coming!

[@melindalivsey1]

Loved this, Ben! Your clean inbox brings me joy. And your kid is adorable.

[@devs2kwik588]

I tell ya man as a aspiring designer you, Chris and the crew really give me legit life hacks, and you make everything really "tangible" (so to speak). Appreciate it- from a lil dude in NC

[@thefutur]

Appreciate it!

[@RecordedExcellence]

Great video Ben! Some great insight, even on a personal level. Don't burn the candle at both ends though buddy. Very well edited too! I thought someone else did it until you said you did at the end. Impressed.

[@ThatCrookedMind]

This was really nice, Mr Burns! I love these more personal videos

[@giuseppe.g]

i love the way you work Ben. Cheer from Italy

[@hassanjokhdar]

Thank you for sharing your day :)

[@ahmedabdullah5705]

Mr Ben Burns rocks, these "Day in the Life" were awesome, hope we see more when all of this passes

[@angrycity]

That was rad man, our creative lives are more similar than different. I don't know many folks in this business that don't work late. The balance of finding workout time and time with the kiddo and partner are constantly a balancing act. These are fun keep em coming!

[@angrycity]

Right on Ben. Now that i'm back freelancing, the balance is skewed a bit and right now it's 'potty training week' so this is alot haha.

[@Andy-vq7ll]

A brilliant insight into the industry, thanks Ben!

[@cece4226]

Great video! And your baby is the cutest!

[@jakubkuik10]

Cool office you have there! Ben Burns, you just might inspired me to maaaybe try running late - after work and playing with my kids... And as always, thanks for sharing!

[@jakubkuik10]

For now I am grinding my skills and portfolio. Then I will take myself out there :)

[@alexclose4824]

Such a great insight, can't wait to work at Blind in the Futur 😂 great work Ben.

[@jaybread22]

Wow, you guys just keep coming up with ways to make engaging content. Super creative... much respect!

[@thefutur]

Thank you.

[@Asweetpotato]

This series is the best! Keep up the great work!

[@kanepour9691]

Thanks for inspiring me to keep hustling Ben!

[@londonjones8861]

Enjoyed this video! I plan on grabbing that mug and sketchbook soon! I love how they look

[@ismailkheir9341]

Great content! We get to know the crew more personally, you guys are awesome.

[@thefutur]

we will bring you more as we show you one team member at a time.

[@NIKITAIZIEVDESIGN]

i love these so much. cant wait for more

[@maboteshaun]

You guys inspire me so much, it makes me super emotional. I smiled so much watching this video. Beautiful video. Seeing you guys just hang out is sooo cool. Can I buy that mug and get it shipped to South Africa?

[@breppbrepp]

2:27 Yes Ben, I do like that mug, drinking coffee from it right now. Loved this insight by the way, thanks!

[@breppbrepp]

Ben Burns It's truly amazing. No joke guys. Have a good one Ben

[@kyledelso4751]

Lovin the choice to keep the Keurig noise. Good stuff, overall.

[@prakharmathur619]

I wanna work with you guys so bad....the people, that environment is just amazing! I wish you all the success and I will level up my game so that someday, I work with you all.

[@anthonyomariesmith2262]

THIS IS COOL. Great way to spend the day. Mine is very similar. Also, great work on the editing of this shot.

[@CyberRings-NEET]

Wow , inspiring amount of hustle Ben !

[@thefutur]

VividRichizy yes we do.

[@WallemBrothers]

[@artemtoderian]

Inspiring video! Thank you for sharing this part of real life

[@aerozg]

I now work from home, but my day is basically the same. Just back from my night run. My 3 year old daughter sleeps all night long now, thankfully, but i remember the sleepless nights from not that long ago. So hang in there, it gets easier. Until you have a second kid :) Thanks for sharing and caring.

[@DorinaRoams]

I love seeing this kind of content!

[@thefutur]

can you put in to words what you loved?

[@DorinaRoams]

I think it's more relatable content to most people, it's harder to imagine that I could get to a place in my life where you guys are if I'm just seeing the studio set up I guess.

[@megmcc3776]

I love having a clean inbox, nothing screaming for attention because guess what? It’s been addressed, taken care of, and I know where to find it because I filed it! Can be so hard to keep up on, but feels great in the end.

[@bubbles02010]

that's actually a a really nice looking mug!

[@sayu1894]

thanks for the inspiration

[@siecles]

You really should vlog more ! :) It's awesome !

[@duuriib2464]

Love Ben's morning hair LOL

[@thefutur]

Something about Ben, I mean Mary.

[@TheNatew97]

You look like a great Dad Ben! Love these day in the lifes. Q: I want to be a creative director in 10-15 years. What would you recommend I study besides design? All the love to you man!

[@TheNatew97]

Ben Burns Thank You! :)

[@Ismail-cm8xs]

The best "life of a designer" video i have ever seen.

[@ErikFrankhouse]

Seeing people in their element is really the proof in the pudding.

[@mhaned6693]

[@kaicheng2228]

the studio looks amazing! are you guys planning to do a Blind studio tour anytime soon? :))

[@xvanegas89]

This was great to watch. There's a lot of things here that I can relate to.

[@zKMotion]

Awesome video! Just wondering is it possible in the future to have an in-depth guide on using Trello for motion design or design in general? I'm starting a small company and often times find it hard to manage freelancers to stay on the same page or incorporate the right system. Thanks!

[@mluevanos]

Nice run, keep it up!

[@judelyncubillas1508]

more of this kind of videos please

[@anhkiet1830]

I like the way you live and working, I love your office. One I hope have chance visit your office OR I will build these for myself. Currently I'm a full stack developer. Thanks Ben Burn and The Futur.

[@WoodImp]

Ben, how important is good sushi to the design process? ;) Glad to finally see this video come out, been looking forward to it!

[@ghmasterjj]

This video was rad, hope you guys get Chris to do a 1-day vlog too 🔥

[@thefutur]

[@souljaunt]

"Hey, you're gonna be on KZbin" haha, the excitement.
