About me

Hi, I'm Silas. I've always been a designer and creative; however, I never got to explore it because I never knew how to get into a field like this. You could witness my style as a Mixed Martial Artist when you saw me combine an overhand right feint into a takedown or turn that overhand right into a leg kick. Enter 3D printing, and I realised that the world was now my oyster, prototyping client products, personal products, anything anyone wanted, I could make. This is where I felt truly free to express, create, and fulfil this lifelong itch and passion of mine.
