hi, I'm Evelyn

My work. I tapped into the original controller, integrated an ESP32 to add my own features, and designed an enclosure that felt intentional and practical to use every day.

The challenge. Working out how to interface with the original controller was the biggest technical hurdle. The enclosure brought a different challenge: making the electronics into an attractive, usable object.

The result. This became one of my most efficient projects, bringing together electronics and design skills that were starting to feel solid. The controller is finished and installed on my desk. The gallery shows the completed enclosure alongside earlier prototypes and design work.

The goal. I wanted a fast printer and wanted to design it from scratch, both mechanically and visually.

My work. Eclipse took roughly three years of frequent work across hardware and software. It became a long-term lesson in planning, budgeting, and developing a machine through many iterations.

The result. It is now my daily-use large printer: reliable, fast, and producing parts I am happy with. I am especially proud of how the mechanical and visual design came together.

Starting point. Before this project, my automotive experience was mostly oil changes. The transmission swap was a much bigger undertaking than anything I had attempted on a car.

My work. I performed the manual-transmission swap and worked through the restoration and bodywork, learning much more about engines, transmissions, and how the car fits together.

The challenge. The transmission work tested my perseverance. There were points where I considered giving up or selling the car; working through those difficulties became one of the most valuable parts of the project.

Where it stands. The car has changed substantially, but the restoration is ongoing. The comparison shows its earlier appearance alongside how it looks now, rather than presenting it as a finished restoration.

The idea. I wanted a good blues pedal and was interested in a build based on a low-cost amplifier board that could be modified. I also wanted a pedal with its own visual character and custom faceplate art.

My work. I modified the schematic to make the circuit my own and built the pedals in 3D-printed enclosures.

Next. The faceplate artwork is still to come. The current enclosures are printed; I plan to make metal versions as a later iteration.

The goal. This has been a passion project since I joined the keyboard community. I wanted to create my own keyboard from the ground up.

The challenge. Designing around multiple changing features pushed me to keep the electrical and physical design flexible as the project evolved.

Where it stands. The keyboard build is finished apart from the enclosure. The photos show the assembled hardware and earlier printed prototypes; the renders show the proposed enclosure design.

My work. I developed the enclosure and component layout with manufacturing in mind, wrote the documentation, and brought the controller into practical shop use.

The challenge. This pushed my modeling skills toward parts that could actually be manufactured and assembled. The documentation was part of making the whole system usable.

The result. The controller is finished and fully functional. Seeing it work and help make actual parts was especially satisfying. I later revisited the design on my own time to work out how I would improve a future version.
