About

Iโ€™m Benjamin Borowski, a product designer & developer based in BC, Canada. Iโ€™m known as @typeoneerror online.

My time is primarily divided between creating software products and volunteer firefighting, and I have designs to unify the two.

You can see what Iโ€™m up to this week on my now page.
