Ben Porter is an American graphic designer born in west suburban Chicago. Finding inspiration in a city known for printing, it was a high school graphic arts class that led to a career in design. Ben learned to adapt quickly during his formative design years while working in creative and production based roles within agency, corporate and print shop environments. After working those skills into a highly successful run as a freelancer, he then earned a full-time opportunity at global agency, JMI/CSM. While there, Ben worked with many of the world's leading brands, having projects featured on SportsCenter and national TV spots, while also appearing in video games and globally televised sporting events. Coming full circle, Ben is back to providing general freelance services as well as motorsport specific creative services through his racing brand Redline Ace.

"In all my years of looking at paint schemes, Ben's was second to none in the Subway motorsport program. According to Carl Edward's manager, Randy Fuller, he never received as many positive comments about a paint scheme as with Ben's 2016 Subway #19 NASCAR Toyota Camry design!"
