My entire life I've always been fascinated by how things work. At only 3 years old, my mom found me screwdriver in hand, halfway through disassembling a humidifier and my favorite toys weren’t action figures or cars—they were K'nex. I spent hours building and rebuilding, driven by a need to understand and create. That curiosity turned into passion, and I pursued a career as an engineer, where I worked behind the scenes to bring other people’s ideas to life. And while it was exciting to see designs I created turn into real-life parts I could hold in the palm of my hand, I couldn’t help but wish I was making something of my own.
