Meet The Maker

Hey guys-

My name is Carter, I’m a college student, and I am a life long Star Wars fanatic! I was introduced to Star Wars when I was 4, and was taken in immediately. As you can probably tell, the costumes and props caught my eye first. I remember seeing the Snowtroopers in ESB for the first time, and that was the moment when I became engulfed. Throughout my childhood, I would make costumes from whatever I could find. Paper, cardboard, foam, you name it- I used it. When I got to middle school, I was introduced to the technology of 3D printing, something that has now become the backbone of my work. What started off as making trinkets from my schools printers, now involves me owning and maintaining 6 of my own printers, running all hours of the day, making everything from helmets, to blasters, to full suits of armor. While I cherish costume making with every fiber of my being, I am an Actor first, and plan on pursuing TV and Film following college. The skills I have learned in the theatre have transferred into my creative pursuits, and have made all this possible. Thank you for your support, and thanks for looking!
