Hi, I am Jay, a maker from Compton. I started making after my 2nd year of college; I wanted to do more than just draw, I wanted to create something physical – something I could hold. Through some research I found myself falling in love with robotics. I self-studied everything I could on how to make robots and and 3D design, saved up and bought a 3d printer, and have been making ever since.
