A workshop built on a promise
Blueprint 25 started with a love of making things and a man who always believed I could do more.
My great-grandfather, who I called Pop, loved technology. He was born on April 7, 1925, and watching a 3D printer or laser engraver turn an idea into something real would make his eyes light up. I'd bring him something I'd made, and for a little while we could cut through all the noise and just be us.
The 25 in our name is for him.
Care about the person on the other end
Pop gave me advice I still come back to:
“If you don't worry about the cash register and worry about the customer, that register will take care of itself.”
That's how I want to run this shop. When I choose something to make, I ask whether I'd buy it, whether I'd use it, and whether it adds something to someone's life. Sometimes that means making a small daily task easier. Sometimes it means a gift that gets a laugh, or a keepsake that brings back a memory.
If a piece doesn't come out right, I stop, figure out what went wrong, and make it right. I try to put myself on the other end of every order, because your money and your trust matter.
Made here, with intention
We use 3D printing, laser engraving, and vinyl cutting to make practical goods, signs, and personalized keepsakes in our Live Oak, Florida workshop. Some pieces begin with our own designs; others begin with designs we have permission to make and sell. The making, attention to detail, and care for your order are ours.
Something worth passing down
I made Pop a promise to keep getting better and doing better. I'm building Blueprint 25 for my twin sons, who had five years with him and knew how much he loved them. I want them to have a real maker's shop they can be proud of and carry forward.
Every order is a step toward that future. Thank you for being part of it.

Maker, Blueprint 25
