3D Printing

Modern making with a dash of curiosity. These entries document my creative experiments, functional prints, and the occasional lesson learned on the way to a perfect layer. All prints are made with my Bambu Lab P1S—fast, clean, and surprisingly fun to watch. I’m exploring what’s possible one filament spool at a time.

Bookbinding

Bookbinding and paper crafts are where my love for texture, storytelling, and handmade detail all come together. I create everything from stitched journals and notepads to vintage-style tags and packaging — all using tools I’ve collected over time. This space is where I share the process, the projects, and the joy of turning beautiful papers into functional art.

Sublimation

Sublimation has quickly become one of my favorite ways to bring full-color designs to life — from custom keychains and mugs to fabric tags and packaging accents. I love blending this vibrant, modern technique with my vintage-inspired style to create pieces that feel both polished and personal.
