Sparkbox was founded in 2009 with a mission to build a better web. As founder, Ben has helped lead and grow the organization while they work alongside clients like Adobe, Mozilla, Docusign, and Stanford University.

In his spare time, Ben is the Founder of Redwoods Design System Community (https://bencallahan.com/redwoods) and Host of The Question (https://bencallahan.com/the-question), a collaborative learning podcast diving into deep niche questions about design systems.

He’s focused his energy most recently on developing a maturity model for design systems, articulating the anatomy of design systems, and chronicling his findings about workplace culture in the tech space. When not knee-deep in these explorations with others, Ben is a father, partner, poet, and home barista. His personal motto is, “Stay in learning mode” and this helps him to remember that every interaction is an opportunity to grow.
