Thought I'd deep dive into a few of the more interesting things I've made. Many of these started off as ideas in a Moleskine, others were commissions or creative collaborations. All of them represent a lot of time in research and fabrication. I'm still learning, so each project definitely builds on the skills picked up from previous attempts. Since an Instagram post can't convey all the nitty gritty that goes into making stuff from scratch, it's here for anyone who happens to be interested.
