I&#8217;m Mary, and I&#8217;ve recently joined Shapeways as Product Designer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I like to think of Shapeways as the &#8220;Future of Stuff&#8221;. It&#8217;s an exciting time where 3D printing is coming out of labs and classrooms and becoming an accessible technology for making finished products, and I&#8217;m really happy to be a part of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">I&#8217;m also co-founder of tech fashion label <a href=\"http:\/\/www.continuumfashion.com\">Continuum<\/a>, where we recently released the N12 bikini. Previously I&#8217;ve worked at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.localprojects.net\">Local Projects<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidsmall.com\/\">Small Design Firm<\/a> designing interactive installations. My direct background is interaction design, although essentially I&#8217;m a generalist. I&#8217;ve done a bit of everything&#8211;illustration, costume design, animation, computational art, physical computing. (If you&#8217;re curious, you can see some stuff I&#8217;ve made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhymeandreasoncreative.com\/portfolio\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">As a designer, I&#8217;m specifically interested in how to design products that are dynamic, customizable, and represent the best potentials in materials and fabricating each piece on demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As a maker, I&#8217;m excited by the creative platform that brings together so many people who make so many different things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As an overall tech geek, I just really love 3D printing. and lasers. and robots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">I&#8217;m working on a number of things at Shapeways, both digital and physical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One thing I&#8217;m working on can be summarized in this doodle:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/toomuchchoice.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p1\">In short, I hope to bring you some fun things in the coming months!
