In the fall of 2015 we had a 3D printer in our living room that I had no idea how to use. It was often churning out personalized toys for our kids and over time I got a little jealous. I wanted to figure out something to 3D print that wasn't a play hammer with my name on it. Earrings hit me as an idea when I noticed a friend's laser woodcut earrings.
With no 3D-modeling skills, I started out first sketching ideas and designs. I figured out how to convert drawings to 3D models and overtime taught myself how to manipulate them in a 3D modeling program. I still primarily use this technique of converting hand-drawn designs to 3D models to make earrings. My designs that are geometric looking are created entirely on the computer. I usually need to print several prototypes to get the design tweaked just right. Starting a business just kind of happened when I received great feedback on my first design. With some encouragement I tried selling them for the first time at Artisan's Asylum Winter Open Studios in December 2015. To my pleasant surprise, people actually bought them!
