HI, I'M BEN.
A software engineer by trade and inventor by choice, I founded Layered Design Works to shape some of the ideas in my head into products to improve your life.
Layered Design Works designs a diversity of USA-made products with low eco-impacts to refine the form and function of the things you use everyday.
I dream and design out of my home in San Jose, CA, accompanied by my partner and pets. When I'm not building new software, dreaming of designs, or spending time with my loved ones, I enjoy pondering life's big philosophical questions and metaphysical realities. Like what if the hokey pokey is what it's all about...?
