Sebastian Ebarb is the head designer for the City of Boston. He works with more than 70 departments within the City to create artwork for:

• upcoming events
• social media platforms, and
• other applications that residents interact with on a daily basis.

Sebastian joined the Department of Innovation and Technology in March of 2015. He oversaw the design process behind the Boston.gov redesign, and helped create the user experience and bold Boston brand we recognize today.

Sebastian is a huge part in what makes the City’s websites and print material so user-friendly. An interface must be carefully designed and easy to use in order to make the flow of information as smooth as possible. 

If you ask what he loves about working for the City of Boston, Sebastian says it’s his ability to make a direct impact on the people around him. A Brooklyn-native, Sebastian is proud to call Boston his home, and to live in such a tight-knit community.

Before his work with the City, Sebastian was a designer for Neoscape, a Boston-based design company. He studied international relations at Trinity before getting his Masters Degree in design and entrepreneurship at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
