Benji Friedman

Web Developer and Creative Technologist

I'm a Berkeley based web developer and multimedia artist. My work bridges technology and creativity, encompassing web development, software engineering, and diverse art forms, including AI-generated pieces.

I'm deeply interested in the variety of creative expression found in people and cultures across the globe, from personal artistic endeavors to the rich stories, folklore, and mythology that define cultural heritage.

My art explores the balance between structure and chaos, mixing order and randomness and creating tools that inspire creativity and spark new ideas. Whether developing innovative web solutions or crafting thought-provoking art, I strive to provide moments of connection, inspiration, and discovery.
