I am a multi-disciplinary artist. I have a a background in music, but the vast majority of my art nowadays is through things like photography, 3d modeling/printing, yarn/string arts, etc. while I don't shy away from the term "Artist," I tend to lean towards the term "Maker" when imagining what I want my net output to be like. I've taken an interest in the past few years of making custom ergonomic keyboards to help ease the strain of typing for those with pain conditions, and the largest hurdle to being able to make more keyboards right now is the cost of parts and materials.

A hand up for me means having help to afford material and process costs that are the largest bottleneck keeping me from growing my business.

I need help creating a place to market my items and make sales. beyond that, I'm not very business-minded, and could use loads of guidance.

3d printed and laser engraved/cut items, custom keyboards and macro pads, items/tools for yarn arts and other hobbies

• I can teach the processes and pros/cons of things like 3d printing and laser cutting etc. including CAD software and machining best practices.

• I can teach beginner to intermediate level guitar and bass, though I have difficulties playing nowadays due to my pain condition.

• I need encouragement that things I can offer are worth selling
