After a long stretch in the garage, it was time to step away for a bit and soak in some fresh perspective. This year’s Spring Break took the family and me from the workbench to the warmer waters of the East Coast, where we started our trip spending some time around Charleston, South Carolian and then spent time catching up with extended family near Savannah, Georgia.
There’s something special about the hospitality in the Lowcountry. The pace slows, the food hits different (especially lowcountry seafood), and the charm is everywhere you look. We took full advantage of the cooler spring temperatures before the Southern heat and humidity roll in. It was the kind of trip that resets the system, lets you recharge, and makes coming back to the grind feel exciting again.
Now we’re back on California soil, jet lag fading, printer beds heating up, and GarageCraft3d is gearing up for a full-scale launch.
What’s next?
- Finalizing the next round of custom tap handle designs for some clients.
- Continuing to refine the AI-assisted prompt workflow for streamlined custom design
- Prepping backend systems to make ordering seamless for breweries and brands
- Oh, and squeezing in a few late-night prototype runs from the garage, of course
Vacation was the pause. Now it’s time to hit resume and more importantly, launch.
Stay tuned.
Big things on tap.
