Benji Smith is a brand that embodies creativity, resilience, and innovation. Founded by Benji Smith, who is not only a talented author but also a skilled coder and artist, the brand offers a range of products and services that reflect his diverse skills and experiences. Benji Smith's journey began in 1977, in Clearwater, Florida.

After spending over twenty years as a computer scientist and computational linguist, he has made an impact in various cities such as Salt Lake City, Boston, and now Portland, Oregon. His life took a dramatic turn in 2012 when he and his wife, the remarkable composer Emily Lau, survived the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia. This life-altering event inspired them to create something beautiful and inspirational from the disaster.

Benji Smith wrote a compelling book, titled Abandoned Ship, which details their experience. Additionally, Emily released an equally captivating album of original compositions called Isle of Lucidity. This powerful journey prompted Benji to establish Shaxpir, a company dedicated to nurturing storytellers and developing tools for the craftsmanship of story construction.

With a mission to inspire and empower creators, Benji Smith and his brand are committed to helping individuals tell their stories effectively and beautifully. They believe that life is good, and their products and services are an embodiment of this belief
