Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Angl, Framed-photobooth - Make memories at Maker Faire, literally!
Home: California, United States
Angl is here to make sure that you leave Maker Faire with the perfect maker themed souvenir. We make combination picture frame greeting cards called Posts. They feature a built in origami stand for both portrait and landscape orientation. Angl frames come in sizes for Fujifilm Instax Mini, Polaroid i-Type, and 4x6 photographs. We'll be hosting a Framed-photobooth where you can pose for a photo (or 2..or 3) and then make it into a framed greeting card with a custom message on the inside to keep for yourself, share with a friend or special someone.

I had the idea for a picture frame greeting card with a built in stand, which I call posts (as in an analog social media post) after a vacation when I ended up with a stack of polaroids and wished that I could share them like digital photos. I started hacking and iterating on the idea, at first I didn't take it too seriously but people were really excited about what I was making and I realized there was a need for this product. Not only did the idea of an analog social media post that gives people a more authentic way to connect resonate, people are also really excited about accessible and simple frames. Prints and photos float about our homes finding their way into drawers never to be appreciated because current framing options feel cheap, complicated, or pricey but these simple memories you can hold make elevating photographs, polaroids and artwork easy and affordable for everyone.
