Ben got his undergrad and Masters in Architecture from Cornell. He later went on to teach and lecture in the area of sustainable design. While in college he also co-founded his own architecture firm ZeroEnergy Design and in 2008 he launched FreeGreen.com which distributed green home designs all over the internet.

But I bet that wasn’t where you have seen Ben’s work. In June of 2013 he started his YouTube channel HomeMadeModern which currently has over 800,000 subscribers and just north 50 millions views during the past four years. What’s amazing about his channel is the limited amount of tools that Ben uses and then his ability to create unique and modern furniture that is highly accessible.
