Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Vanessa! 👋

I'm the founder and creative force behind 3DR Prints LLC, a small handcrafted business based in Norfolk, Virginia, where I create premium 3D-printed gifts, home decor, and epoxy resin pieces — all made to order with love.

From the Flight Deck to the Print Bed

Before I became a maker, I proudly served in the United States Navy as an Aviation Mechanic for 13 years. The discipline, precision, and dedication I developed in uniform are the same values I bring to every piece I create today.

When I learned I would be medically separated from the Navy, I was searching for something that would fill that creative void — something that could bring me joy and purpose. That's when a visit to a friend who was into 3D printing changed everything. The moment I saw what was possible, it spoke directly to my creative side. I fell in love instantly. I knew I wanted to use this craft to make things that brought others the same happiness it brought me.

And just like that, 3DR Prints LLC was born.

The Person Behind the Printer

When I'm not printing or crafting resin pieces, you'll find me:

• 🎬 Watching movies, anime, cartoons, and action films
• 🎵 Listening to music
• 📚 Reading books
• 🎮 Playing with my boys
• ⛪ Attending church online
• 🚶‍♀️ Taking morning walks around my neighborhood

I believe in creating things that matter — pieces that make people smile, that feel special, and that carry a little bit of heart in every layer.
