This weeks Designer Spotlight focuses on <\/span>Corinne Hansen<\/a>, who has found a 3D printing niche in designing props and accessories. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? Where are you located?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

I have been passionate about art and design since a young age, always wanting to be a part of the creation process. I recently graduated from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Ceramics and Metals\/Jewelry\/CADCAM in May. While looking for creative jobs, I have set up my shop here on Shapeways as well as on Etsy. I also occasionally work freelance in the Shapeways forums.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Growing up next to five miles of protected forest had a strong impact on my interests. I am inspired by nature, fantasy, and mythology. However, with my introduction to the digital world and the internet, I quickly became fascinated with technology, film and media. Currently I have been making jewelry and custom costume props.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What brought you to 3D printing with Shapeways?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Part of my Metals\/Jewelry\/CADCAM major at Tyler focused completely on 3D prototyping and printing. For some projects I wanted to try different materials that were not available through the school’s printers. I was referred to Shapeways, and I soon fell in love with the streamlined printing service. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How did you learn how to design in 3D?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I decided on Tyler School of Art because they offered 3D printing classes and the ability to print on campus. I took 5 classes that focused on learning Rhino and did my best to push the program to its limits. However, I have learned so much more on my own making models specifically for Shapeways materials following the provided design guidelines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How do you promote your work?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That is the main reason I started creating custom props. There seems to be huge following for costumes and accessories right now, so I try to gain popularity through that already thriving community. I also try to be active on as many social media sites as possible and link them to each other.  I display a portfolio of my work on my website<\/a> and DeviantArt<\/a>, I have shops on Shapeways<\/a> and Etsy<\/a> and I use Facebook<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a>, Tumblr<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> to share my inspiration and works in progress. That way, people can follow my updates or like me on whichever site they prefer.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Who are your favorite designers or artists? Who in the Shapeways community has served as an inspiration to you?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

This is the most difficult question for me as I have so many favorites and their styles vary. Some of my favorites are Augusta Rodin, Alphonse Mucha, Beth Cavener Stichter, Gaylord Ho, and Amy Brown. On Shapeways I really admire the figurative work by Big Bad<\/a>.  The details are really complex, and I hope to one day achieve that skill. Also, love the the posable dolls by Mr. Props<\/a>, and the organic jewelry by Saga<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If you weren’t limited by current technologies, what would you want to make using 3D printing?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think printing in ceramics still has a lot of potential to grow. I would love to print tiny delicate porcelain earrings and pendants, or the large stoneware sculptures that I learned to build by hand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anything else you want to share?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I just want to thank Shapeways for helping me start my own business. I would face many more difficulties if I didn’t have such an efficient source for 3D printing.<\/div>\n
