June
Have been continuously working on renovating the small den at home. The DIY “bunk bed” I imagined had a little stability issue and I had to design some new custom 3D-printed components to strengthen a small cantilevered cavity.

May in TO
It’s the flowering season, cherry blossoms, lilacs, tulips… I don’t remember Toronto being so beautiful before!
