Laser cutting and engraving is the last application I could have ever imagined for my artwork. Isn't that how life goes though? It provides what we need not always what we desire.
I remember finishing my last year of college and feeling lost as to what I wanted to do, and who I wanted to be professionally. I was often so exhausted from working all day and long nights waitressing to pay for my expenses that I never really had time to think about my future. Ironic huh? So I inevitably found myself facing the recession as a recent grad with no prospects of employment.
That's how I ended up bumping into the engraving industry in the 2000s. I found a part-time gig engraving and typesetting personalized glasses, jewelry, frames, baby gifts. You name it! chances are I've engraved it. To my surprise, I fell in love with the process. I saw early on the infinite potential of this technology.
I eventually left that engraving gig but my curiosity for engraving never left. I landed in a different design position where I learned about even more processes like sandblasting, screen-printing, sublimation, and laser cutting. I was fascinated and quickly noticed how the machines were not being used to their full potential.
I took a leap and purchased a small laser-cutting machine and taught myself how to set-up the files to engineer my own 3d designs. I could see my future a bit more clearly now I just wasn't sure how to get there. I imagined I would have a storefront one day. So I continued for years—testing ideas, making prototypes, and developing a process for creating laser-ready files.
I've been waiting to release my first laser-ready downloadable project for years. 5 years to be exact. I was scared, unsure if it was right for me, and doubtful in every way possible. So it's with great excitement that I offer my first few designs on this month, February 2024 to the public. This isn't a last-minute idea for me, it's taken years of ideation and testing to make sure I can provide a seamless experience with each project.
Thank you for creating your future projects with the BynBeary designs. I've poured my heart and soul into figuring out this process.
