Ben Bronstein

I'm co-founder and the Head of Production, Art & Design at Pillbox Games.
Before Pillbox, I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and spent over a decade as an illustrator and retoucher in advertising, working with clients including Mighty Oak, Trader Joe's, and The Wall Street Journal.In 2017, I co-founded Pillbox Games with Jade Shames, launching our first game on Kickstarter: Side Effects. As Head of Production, Art & Design, I illustrate and design our games and manage mass production end to end.More than a dozen games and expansions later, Pillbox Games is an independent publisher and studio. Our games are sold at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indigo, Amazon, and hobby stores across North America, distributed throughout the UK and Europe, and licensed in multiple languages. In September 2026, our latest game: Dead Letters was named Barnes & Noble's Game of the Month.I take on select freelance illustration and game design projects. I'm particularly interested in projects with quirky visuals and unconventional themes. Feel free to reach out!I currently live in Brooklyn with my wife Sarah, daughter Phoebe, and chi-mix Ripley.
