about Ben Ross

For Ben Ross, a love of nature runs deep. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, he began his career in the corporate world before finding his voice as a designer. His signature feather bow tie was initially created as a gift for groomsman on his wedding day.

As the creative mind behind Brackish, Ben’s imaginative approach has allowed for new production techniques, interesting materials, and innovative product categories. When not crafting original designs, Ben can be found exploring with his two sons, passing along his love for the beauty one can only find in the great outdoors.
