Figuresmith
After pitching a figurine studio through the Shady Grove Concept Track and receiving a small grant in 2024, I formed Figuresmith LLC. The studio combined 3D printing, hand painting, built-in LEDs and custom electronics. I closed the LLC when it no longer fit around school, and keep making figures as a hobby and side business.
