In the past, I have used 3D-printed business cards to display my expertise in this style of manufacturing. Now, I would like to expand their influence to showcase my design aesthetic principles and talents. These cards will be mounted on a portable DIN-rail system with a bold carrying handle design. The dynamic aspect of the…

I have had 3D-Printed business cards in the past, and they have helped display my expertise with this style of manufacturing.

The 3D-printing community has developed a distinct aesthetic, stemming from the solid body modeling techniques and manufacturing constraints. This aesthetic is characterized by visually uncluttered surfaces, bright colored accents, and robust material usage… Read the rest of my…

I’d like to explore an aesthetic that has gained popularity recently due to several great influential pieces of media. Cyberpunk consists of a futuristic set of motifs that balance between aspirational and pessimistic.
