For a very long time I ran CicCNC a shop where ideas became physical.
For a very long time I ran CicCNC a shop where imagination met machinery and raw material became something meaningful. It began as a small experiment in digital fabrication and quickly grew into a full creative production space built around CNC milling, laser cutting, 3D printing, vacuum forming, and design. CicCNC existed to bridge the gap between concept and reality, giving artists, builders, makers, designers, woodworkers, cosplayers, and storytellers a place to turn their ideas into tangible form.
This was never just a fabrication shop.
CicCNC became a place where problem solving lived beside creativity. Where escape room builders brought puzzles to life. Where costume designers cut leather and EVA for armor and fantasy wear. Where stage and film projects found custom parts. Where experimental prototypes were born alongside finished production pieces. From 2D and 3D carving to large format laser work and additive manufacturing, the shop was built to handle projects that didn’t fit neatly into categories.
The work was always collaborative. People arrived with sketches, half formed thoughts, or fully realized visions, and together we figured out how to make them real. Some projects were practical. Some were artistic. Some were strange and wonderful. Every one of them required translating imagination into structure, texture, and form.
CicCNC also represented a larger philosophy I have carried through much of my life. Technology is not separate from art. Machines are not replacements for creativity. They are tools, extensions of human intent, amplifiers of curiosity. The shop was a physical manifestation of that belief, a place where digital design met hands on craftsmanship, and where learning never stopped.
Over time the boundaries between CicCNC and my other creative work began to blur. The fabrication projects fed into photography, costuming, immersive events, education, robotics, and storytelling. What started as a CNC shop became part of a much larger ecosystem of creative exploration that now lives across Mythos Anthology, Cedar Rose Grove, STEAM education, immersive events, and visual storytelling.
CicCNC is no longer operating as a standalone business, but its influence remains deeply woven into everything I build today. Every machine lesson learned, every material experiment, every late night problem solve lives on in my current work. The shop served its purpose. It helped shape a direction. It created foundations that continue to support new projects, new stories, and new forms of expression.
This page exists simply to acknowledge that chapter.
CicCNC was real. It mattered. It built things. And it helped build what came next.
