I have been 3D printing since age 9 - everything from keychains to Marvel characters to birthday party favors! During COVID, I began volunteering for e-NABLE - a nonprofit organization that provides 3D printed prosthetics for people born with hand and arm deformities.

I love seeing kids' smiles when they can bike, jump rope, and grab objects with the customized prosthetics I build! A typical medical prosthetic can cost thousands of dollars, but e-NABLE takes a simple concept - 3D printing - and helps people around the world through their volunteer network. To me, that's innovation at its best!

I took this photograph at home, where I perform the majority of my 3D printing and assembling. I set up the camera, angled carefully, then took the photograph using a timer.
