Benjamin Lynn
Ben’s motto is to never stop learning. He grew up in sunny South Florida as the son of a juggling instructor and a recording studio engineer. He has over 15 years of interdisciplinary experience having studied interior design at Florida State University before attending the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. He’s worked at firms in San Antonio, TX and in the Seattle area on projects that include healthcare, residential, workplace, renovation, adaptive reuse, and transit. He’s the newest member of the Scharrer AD team. Ben is a people-oriented person, and relishes the joy of working with clients most during the design process to bring ideas to life. An avid traveler, he’s been to 43 states and 20 countries. Ben started a wine business in 2022 and divides his time between ScharrerAD and his new passion.
