My Story

Hello! Welcome to The Mini Maker Studio, a little world where creativity and imagination come together one tiny piece at a time.

My love for miniatures started when I was a kid. I was completely fascinated by tiny houses, tiny books, and all the little details that made them feel alive. I used to daydream about having my own dollhouse, but it wasn’t until I became an adult that I finally decided to give it a try. Armed with limited tools, zero knowledge, and a whole lot of enthusiasm, I set out to build my very first miniature house.

The process was insane! Mainly because I was unaware of the amount of construction and cutting needed and I I was only equipped with an old rusty knife and stretched out measuring tape. After many setbacks, and minor accidents, I completed my very first house. And boy was it something!

Let’s just say… it was a beautiful disaster. The house leaned like the Tower of Pisa, the trim was uneven, the windows were crooked, and the exterior paint was so tacky due to slathering on multiple coats of high gloss paint. Despite all its flaws, I was so proud of that house because it reminded me what it felt like to create something from pure joy.

From that moment, I was officially bitten by the miniature bug. Over the years, I kept building, learning, and experimenting. What started as a fun hobby turned into something so much more—a creative journey that grew into The Mini Maker, a place where I now share my passion with others through workshops, collaborations, and custom projects.

At the heart of it all, I believe that every miniature, perfect or imperfect, tells a story. And every maker, no matter how new or seasoned, has something special to create.

I can’t wait to see what you’ll dream up next!
