Our Ideal Customer
My customer wants something special for themselves, for their family, or as a gift. I make custom Challah boards for life-cycle events, Seder plates, recognition awards, and even decoration for yoga studios.
I also make recognition plaques with organization logos, custom signs, and other made-to-order designs.
My ideal customer works with me do I can form their thoughts into tangible memories.
For the last year, I've walked down the path of making 3D printed tiles for the math problem of covering an infinite flat surface with aperiodic tiling. Once thought to be impossible, there are now three major discoveries. I've make thousands of tiles help people visualize this new math.

I am not confident. I read all I can. I talk with people, and consider what I learn. I've been in various forms of startup company since 1973, so I've seen a lot, and needed to forget a lot of bad lessons and obsolete ways. There is no end of what it is beneficial to know, but a company requires doing -- not just learning. So I do, and make mistakes, and keep doing.

Some challenges can build strength and develop capabilities, but flirting with death is rarely a good fertilizer for growth.

Your opener got attention, but carried negative value. The rest of your email still left a bitter taste. How does one get emails opened, but not immediately recycled in frustration?

Steven, if you are selling in the US, be sure your photo frames are tested and compliant with FCC regulations for EMI. In Europe, it may be CE regulations. Selling most electronic devices that haven't been tested can lead to large fines or worse.

Most of my work is custom with a short delivery time. There is little needed for business continuity. There is very little work-in-progress inventory. Software assets are backed up locally in two different structures as well as the cloud.
