From a Treefrog to a home made business
I always found 3D to be something really exciting and emotional in its incredible ability to connect the real world to the digital one, enhancing the human experience to a more fantastic one. it's like imagination bleeding into reality.
Loving the graphics style of children's cartoons, and having a talent for sculpting, I became a 3D character modeler for animation and moved to Canada.
In 2012 I wanted to learn about 3D printing, which was a different matter than animation. I studied technicalities and limitations with the desktop printers technology and, as at the time the community was lacking a cute, organic model that would serve to test this technology, I designed a treefrog that incorporated in its shapes elements that were challenging to print and would serve as a calibration tool and materials or printers comparison at the same time. The model went viral and it's since then one of the most famous models printed around the world.
Encouraged by the overwhelming response, I decided to open my store in order to create more designs and share them with people around the world. That’s what I want to bring to my costumes, the magic of an imagined world, made real into their hands.
