What inspired you to make this project?:
I started making mazes early in my life and I see mazes as artwork. Applying art styles to mazes is fun. Mazes are related to math which is one of my passions. Kids can make mazes too and have a passion for mazes. I'm learning entrepreneurship while following my passion with mazes and I plan on creating a lot of fantastic experiences and products!
