Creator
Spending time with so much technology, I had learned to step away from computers and electrical things. I was inspired to create something powered by people. A bit of inspiration came from EJ Park's Mechanical Storytelling and my years of playing drums. The entire machine is made of wood save for a few metal parts to reduce friction and of course, there are no wooden springs.
