Hello everyone! I've been poking around Steemit for the last month or so after hearing about it from my brother. I've finally decided to jump in!
My name is Justin. I live in Michigan with my tiny family. I'm a graduate from KCAD in Grand Rapids and have been working as an Industrial Designer for the last few years.
Design!
I love what I do and I'm excited to share. I am someone who is constantly tinkering, making, sketching, and building. I want to share this passion with the steemit community and hopefully run into some like minded people along the way. I want to use this blog as a place to share my process and talk about whats going on in the world of Industrial Design. I'm also hoping to create DIY Instructions and open source designs that everyone on steemit can benefit from.
Here are some images of varius projects I've worked on over the last few years. As you can see Furniture City (Grand Rapids) has really rubbed off on me.

If you if you know of others in the design community here I would love to get connected.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
Welcome to steemit, cool designs!
Awesome designs :) A process from idea to product would make up for a great post I think!

Hey, welcome to Steemit! Great designs! I spent 20 years as a theatrical scenery designer and furniture maker. I just started a great FREE program to help plankton get started! https://steemit.com/minnowsunite/@markrmorrisjr/hey-minnows-free-promotion-to-2500-fans-plus-a-chance-to-win-free-usdsbd-and-so-much-more @markrmorrisjr
Thanks @markrmorrisjr! Just peeked at your blog. Looks great. Your program looks great too.
Cool, well, I look forward to seeing you around.

Thanks @Shaunven Yes, my designs definitely were inspired by the greats. I have a love for Scandinavian design. I took a look at your blog. Looks great!
Hay I know that guy! Sweet, good to see you on here sir.
Hey! I know you too! Hope you have been doing well!
I have! Just a few lakes away from you in Minnesota.
Hello, Jay, and Welcome to Steemit.
Interesting intro. It seems like you have plenty to offer to the Steemit community, and hopefully you will find many benefits for yourself also.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
p.s. It was your reference to "Michigan" that made me click on your intro. Then I saw you're from GR. I graduated from Calvin a few decades ago.
Thanks @majes.tytyty! Yeah it seems like half the people I meet here in GR went to Calvin. Sounds like a great place!
Let's just say it was an "OK" place. ☺
Here's 2 more points re making your posts attractive. ...
Use the “EDITOR” function to make your posts more attractive / readable. To do so, before inserting any text or pasting any image into your “POST” box, you must click on “EDITOR” at top-right corner to activate it. (Later, you can switch to “MARKDOWN / HTML.”)
And below is a link to a recent post of mine, outlining the steps to “Enlarge Photos or Images” on Steemit.

Awesome blog by the way. Just followed you.
Thanks. Looking forward to some great posts by you, too.
Welcome from a fellow Michigander. Great designs, best of luck!
Thanks @rhizaboveit!
Nice man! Welcome. You got some awesome looking stuff! I'm excited to see what all you do
Oh hey! Thanks friend. I'm actually thinking this might help push me to document my projects better and hopefully be a little more prolific. PS your stuff is hot.
