About

Hello. My name is Benjamin Roland* Laramie. I am a Rhode Island native, now Bay Area-based Designer/Builder. This site is a collection of my work. 

With more than a decade of professional industrial design and manufacturing experience, I offer services as a design consultant, rapid prototyper, furniture maker, and general craftsperson. I primarily create custom work and make a small collection of objects that are made-to-order. Additionally, I’ve developed a prototyping workshop, should such a thing be of interest.

Please be in touch.

*Roland Leonard Laramie (1927-2019) was my grandfather. He was a professional photographer for over forty years, an amateur craftsman, a loyal husband to my YiaYia, a funny guy, and an all-around wonderful person. Throughout my life—particularly in my childhood—he enabled, educated, and encouraged me to make things. In addition to knowledge, he passed on some of his father’s woodworking tools to me (I use my Great Grandfather’s combination square every day I’m in the shop). So, as I was (middle) named after him, I’ve named my studio practice in his honor. This one is for you, Papou.
