Leafprints is a small 3D printing studio based in Lakewood, Ohio, focused on making customizable, functional designs—primarily for plant lovers and home organizers who care about how things are made. Everything is designed and produced in-house using biodegradable materials, and we compost support waste and failed prints to keep our process as low-impact as possible.

The business grew out of a desire to create alternatives to mass-produced products—especially ones that are overpackaged, overdesigned, and shipped halfway around the world before landing on your shelf. With 3D printing, I’m able to make thoughtful, made-to-order items that don’t rely on warehouses or freight shipping. You order it, I print it, and it ships directly from here in Lakewood.

One of the things that makes Leafprints unique is our ability to offer much larger prints than most other shops. We regularly produce planters up to 11.8″ in diameter—sizes that are usually limited to heavy ceramic or concrete, but with none of the bulk or fragility. That means customers can get lightweight, durable, biodegradable pieces in dimensions that actually work for their space.

My approach isn’t about chasing trends or making limited drops just to drive hype. It’s about building tools and objects that last—things with real utility and a clear origin. Most of what I design starts with a simple question: what do I wish existed, and how can I make it better?

Leafprints is about offering a different kind of product experience—one where you know who made it, how it was made, and what it’s made of. That shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be normal.
