Here’s a fun Christmas card I made one year. I was obsessed with paper track systems for a while and this was an attempt to see how much action I could get from a single pull tab using those internal tracks.

Pop-up Christmas Card with Lights
Inviting people to electrocute me seems like great holiday fun for everyone, right? This was our Christmas card for 2013. I had to cobble together 100 of these flat led modules from a pile of scavenged electronic parts. That process
Pinball Machine Pop-up Business Card

I love the format of the business card. In paper engineering, this small scale is a bit like designing jewelry. I made this card for a very talented interior designer to help her stand out. The piece also sits on one’s desk
Punch-out punch buggy
I’ve done quite a few of these little punch-out models over the years but this one was the roundest car I’d ever tried to make. I worked from several different renderings provided by the studio of the redesigned Herbie car. It is made
