Beren has worked on creative tech magazines and websites at Future Publishing for over 13 years. Cutting his teeth as Staff Writer on the digital art magazine ImagineFX, in 2012 he found himself bridging the magazine/website divide as Commissioning Editor on the newly launched Creative Bloq. Since then he moved up to lead ImagineFX, was Launch Editor of the fine art magazine Paint & Draw, moved to Canon Pro Europe website as Deputy Editor, and then edited the graphic design magazine Computer Arts. In 2020 he moved back to Creative Bloq, the biggest global art and design website, as Deals Editor. Now as Ecom Editor, when he's not testing and reviewing the best ergonomic office chairs, phones, laptops, TVs, monitors and various types of storage, he helps digital creatives get the best deals on the kit that they need and love. Outside of work, Beren likes rock climbing and dancing to James Brown. Only James Brown.
