This semester I undertook two main projects:

Naturalist Hangboard :

The goal of this project was to upcycle something we could get for free. I chose to turn an aspen log from my parent’s house into a practical and charming hangboard. I learned a multitude of woodshop techniques and gained an appreciation for the naturalist aesthetic.

Mid-Century Modern Memento Mori Spinner:

The goal of this project was to create something dynamic. I chose to create something I could keep on my desk that would remind me of both my mortality and the goodness of life. Through this process, I learned about laser cutter tolerance and gained an appreciation for the blending of aesthetics.
