Hi, I’m a lifelong tinkerer, builder, and animal lover. By day, I work for a large health tech company. When the laptop closes, I head to my workshop, where I get to continue doing what I love most: robotics, 3D printing, and creative design, in a way that improves the lives of humans and animals.
This shop grew out of that passion. I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can make life better — not just for people, but for the pets and critters we care about, too. Using my engineering background, I design fun, durable, and safe habitats and accessories that bring out the best in their tiny adventurers.
Every item in my shop is something I would proudly use for my own animals, and I hold myself to the same standard I do in my professional work: precision, care, and innovation.
For me, this isn’t just about selling products — it’s about sharing the joy of making, the love of animals, and the belief that even small creatures deserve big imagination.

5 out of 5 starsMy hermit crabs love this little hide out and the magnet attachment stays securely in place so I don’t have to worry that it’s going to fall while they are crawling in/on it.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love this and so do my hermit crabs! I use the bottom shelf as a feeding station no more food spilled all over! Will definitely be purchasing another for a shell shop.

5 out of 5 starsThis product is amazing. I like how it is customizable. Also the fact that you can take out the trays without disturbing molting crabs underneath. Plus the fact that it’s cheaper and better than any pools I’ve seen on Etsy! Plus It doesn’t leak unlike some others do! I will be purchasing this product again soon when I setup another hermit crab tank. Highly recommend this seller!
