COLIN J REED
I view the world with a sense of wonder, and love finding new places, or old places that people have forgotten about. Whether its a unique architectural detail or the patterns in the bark of a tree, I love to find and call attention to the little details that are so often missed in everyday life.
My aim as a creator is to make things that people find unexpected delight in, to create objects and solutions that meet people’s functional needs in unique and creative ways. I love to combine woodworking, machining and 3D printing to bring my ideas to life.
When I was a kid, I had the opportunity to learn about problem solving and making with my grandfather in his shop. He taught me the basics of woodworking and metalworking, and helped me think through the steps needed to bring an idea to life. I cherish that time and find myself coming back to the things he taught me again and again.
Something that has been a part of me since I was a child is a desire to explore, learn and create. I have always been adventurous and loved to travel. This curiosity is still with me today and I want to open your eyes and invite you into the journey of discovery, to lift the veil on the things that exist in this world. I hope that you are inspired by what you see here, and catch the desire to go out and find or create new and exciting things on your own.
