Everyday
objects,
engineered
for joy.

I’m a mechanical engineering student and maker building robotics, rapid prototypes, and hands-on engineering experiences that mix CAD, fabrication, electronics, and teaching.

Sheet 03 · Method

how an idea gets made.

Step 01
Sketch
Pen to paper (tablet) first. If it isn’t fun on paper, it won’t be fun in 3D.
Step 02
Model
Parametric CAD, motion studies, and maybe a FEA run before cutting anything.
Step 03
Build
Print, cut, turn, solder. Then do most of it again for the next iteration
Step 04
Test
Hand it to someone without instructions and watch what they do with it.
