I'm a printmaker, designer, and the person behind Diode Press.

I started making tools out of necessity. Crooked prints, messy setups, wasted paper. I got tired of it and made the first version of the registration jig for my own bench. It worked better than I expected, and that was enough to keep me going.

Everything here came from the same place: something I needed in the studio, couldn't find, and decided to just build. I use CNC, laser cutting, and 3D printing, not to scale up, but because they let me make things that are consistent and precise in ways that actually help when you're printing.

I run every tool through my own print sessions before it gets listed. If it doesn't hold up there, it doesn't ship.

Everything is designed and made by hand in my studio in Columbus, Ohio. When you order something, I'm the one who makes it, packages it, and sends it out.
