I learned traditional drafting on paper in highschool and then discovered 3d model design later on. I have been tinkering with 3d modelling and animation for a long time, but I'm not a professional by any means. I love to figure out design problems and making things work as I want them to. I recently was introduced to 3d printing and my eyes have been opened to the making possibilities in a really big way. I have already solved several dozen design issues throughout my home, which would have otherwise been prohibitively expensive and would not have solved everything to my satisfaction.
