Empress Makes

A small side hustle – an Etsy shop selling fun 3D prints, stickers, designs, and sometimes random ephemera.

Project Details

Borrowed Hobbies

I started 3D printing when my partner got a new 3D printer… and soon took over the basement as a print shop.

Toys with Purpose

One of the main categories in my store is a collection of clicker fidget toys, specifically geared toward neurodivergent folks who need something to keep their hands busy and satisfied. Obviously, toys are fun and everybody needs a little whimsy in their life… but aside from general cuteness, I love the idea that the toys I sell serve a tactile and auditory purpose.

Video Editing Experience

Until the launch of this store, I only had a vague familiarity with video editing, so I look at the social media for this store as a personal challenge to hone my editing and visual media skills.
