Meet our Magnificent Makers
Little Inventors wants children to open their eyes to the world of invention and creativity. But beyond the invention drawings, there is a unique opportunity for children and makers, designers and artists to come together and collaborate to bring children’s imagination to life.
By taking children’s ideas seriously and presenting them in a professional manner through collaboration with skilled makers, we will help showcase children’s original ideas, perspectives and voices.
We also want to challenge the skills and experience of adult makers, and encourage them to push beyond their own limits by engaging with the highly imaginative and unhindered minds of young children.

I love to dive deep into innovative ideas and help them get closer to a real product. Getting a hot coffee, turning on some music and just flow into the process of creating is one of my favorite things in life.

I am a student at CCS (College for Creative studies) majoring in Industrial Design. I enjoy every step of the creative process, from brainstorming ideas to presenting the final product. I like to learn new tools and optimize my process and techniques as much as possible. In my free time I like to draw, design characters, and writing stories.
Since 1969, TARUS has been a world leader that builds custom machines for heavy industry. Starting out of a garage, TARUS pioneered many important developments in the machine tool business including key innovations in Gundrilling machines, we invented the Claymill, and we developed a Graphical User Interface 2 years before Apple in the early 1980s. We are vertically integrated, meaning we build everything from scratch in-house for our machines.
At HTI Cybernetics, we provide tooling and automation systems that integrate people and robotics. Our team is incredibly qualified and use innovative technologies to develop custom manufacturing solutions. With over 40 years of experience, there is no limit to what we can do, and we look forward to making the vision of a Little Inventor into a reality!
I love to explore ideas by drawing every possibility that comes to my mind. I also love coffee, reading, playing video games, and making stamps.
I'm currently a product design student at CCS. I love every bit of the design process from ideating the concepts, modeling, prototyping and presenting and final result. I love seeing my ideas come to life and growing as a designer.
