MAKING THINGS
A physical-digital fabrication lab for artists, charities, and community events — laser cutting, sublimation, and hardware-software builds. Commissions open, with charity gaming marathons and STEM outreach at the heart of the work.
How It Started
It started at Kawaiikon in middle school. I saw the Artist Alley, decided I wanted a booth, and showed up with keychains made of laminated paper. I was the only non-food vendor.
The arc since then: laminated paper → hand-cut stickers → Silhouette Cameo → Cricut + heat transfer vinyl during COVID → mostly stickers for a while → Glowforge laser cutter (now). It's been an escalating equipment situation ever since.
Capabilities
I'm a fabricator, not an artist. You bring the design — or we figure out what format your vision needs — and I figure out how to make it physical. I've got the machines, the materials knowledge, and the patience for test cuts.

Work With Me
Commissions are open. I take on paid work and community projects alike: charity gaming marathons, convention runs, nonprofit events, bulk orders, or artists who want help getting their designs into physical form.
I prioritize: charity events, gaming marathons (GDQ, Frost Fatales), convention freebies, nonprofit merch, artist collabs (you design, I produce). Also open to: bulk orders for events, one-off custom pieces, prototype runs for artists who want to test a product format.
Not a good fit: ongoing wholesale production, anything that needs a turnaround faster than I can actually deliver.
If you've got a deadline and a design (or at least an idea), reach out. I'll tell you if it's something I can do.

NOTES FROM THE MAKER SIDE
Stuff I've made for events, conferences, and charity marathons — plus the marathons themselves.

A Week at Awesome Games Done Quick
Caught AGDQ in Pittsburgh during a CMU immersion weekend — the speedrunning marathon that raises millions for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and where my Hatsune Miku LED stand ended up as a donation incentive.
