I create for fun. I don't create with the intention of making a product. I love experimenting and improvising, and usually the end product is something I'm proud of, even if it's entirely different than I originally imagined it to be.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think that everything needs complexity. Complexity causes confusion. I like design that is simple and pleasing to the eye, that makes you go "wow" without staring at it for ten minutes. To me, a good design is one that you can glance at for a second and know everything there is to know about it, and still be impressed. And that's what I hope to deliver to you.

This is a bottle. But not just any bottle, a special bottle. This bottle has no top or bottom, nor a front or back, nor even an inside or outside. This special bottle is called a klein bottle.Klein bottles are non-orientable objects, meaning they have no definable sides. The outside flows to the inside and back again, making it impossible to discern between the two.Of course, this isn't a real klein bottle. It would be physically impossible to create a real klein bottle. Like my mobius strip-based models, this is the closest possible 3-dimensional representation of the object. Still, it's mathematical and theoretical properties are evident and fascinating.

A handcuff key pendant. Can be worn around the neck or on a keychain. Either way, it will look great.I really designed this on a simple concept: its a key to a restraint. With a gear. Hence, it is a freedom machine. (Plus you could also use the explanation that a key is really a simple machine in itself)***Please note this is not a real handcuff key. It will not fit into the lock on a pair of handcuffs.

A small mobius strip charm that can be used as a pendant or as a keychain.A mobius strip is a very unique shape because it defies conventional logic. It is a 3-dimensional object with only two faces. A single twist makes them flow from the outside to the inside and back again. Simple and elegant.

A ring designed to hold a neodymium (rare-earth) magnet inside.Use it to hold loose screws while working, to activate reed switches, or just to show off. This ring will snugly hold a 1/16" high, 1/4" diameter cylindrical neodymium magnet, perfect for all of your magnetic uses.size 11Specifically designed to house a magnet or other cylindrical object 1/16" high with a 1/4" diameterTIP: I found that inserting the magnet can be a little tricky, although the result is a great snug fit. To insert your magnet, simply place the magnet upright into the horizontal slit (the one running across the ring, as opposed to around it) and then push the magnet at an angle into a hard surface such as a wall. It should snap in with some force. Don't worry, you won't break the WSF.

A new take on the mobius strip. A strip with the center section removed creates an even more complicated and interesting shape. Can be used as a pendant, or a Christmas tree ornament, or just a neat little desk toy. I even have one mounted on my wall with a small nail.

Commercial is a "Classier" version of my popular Industrial ring. The main difference is the lack of rivet holes in the side of the ring, leaving a clean band with a stylish groove around the outside. Simplicity is the main focus of this ring, with the idea that something doesn't have to be complicated to be aesthetically pleasing.

A fully 3d-printed flat cap! Designed to fit most heads, the cap can be reduced in size with a bit of foam padding, or stretched if printed with the new flexible material (once it's released, of course). The design is simplistic and minimal, but painting or other decorating could be done with ease.
