Past Projects
Notepads & Journals
These handcrafted notepad covers were custom-designed for two customers. Starting from raw plywood, I designed, cut and engraved each cover before finalizing with a protective spray. Each wooden cover is precisely engraved with the personal requests of the customer, allowing every piece to feel personal and intentional. The natural grain of the timber is left visible, so no two covers are exactly the same.
Hex Boxes
These hexagonal boxes were one of the first designs I ever created with the laser, and were 100% designed from scratch by me. It is a simple yet aesthetic design, and the introduction of the lock mechanism on the lid was a later addition to make the boxes more secure. This was also one of the fist times I engraved a photo.
Christmas Cards & Decorations
In 2024, I decided to create christmas designs in the form of christmas cards which double as tree ornaments or ornamental decorations. These are not my own design, but I did modify them a bit to suit my preferences. They were quite a hit, and I sold quite a few to the community during 2024 and 2025 Christmas holidays.
Photo Frames & Engraved Photos
After a family friend had a daughter, a custom-designed photo frame was ordered to house their first photo together. This one was 100% designed by me, and is a simple but aesthetic design encompassing the familial love they share. There are a few improvements I have made on frames since which improve my designs, especially the stands.

FAQs
Yes, logos, photos, and custom artwork are welcome; vector files (such as SVG, AI, EPS, or high‑resolution PNG) usually produce the best engraving results. As engravings are essentially black-and-white, high contrast images work better.
No, materials such as wood most likely won't be 100% identical, as each piece of wood has its own grain and colour variations, so there may be small differences between items. This adds to the uniqueness and challenge of each piece, and I always do my best to ensure consistent quality, redoing pieces I am not satisfied with.
All designs can be engraved, but very fine details, very small text, or low‑resolution images may lose their details depending on the engraved material.
E.g. Wood can over-burn depending on the grain, whereas metal is cleaner.
Primarily MDF and Plywood, but I can also work on a range of other materials such as other woods, stone, stainless steel, leather, etc. Ask me for more information, or if you have your own material not on this list.
