Nine Months In

I'd like to take the time to thank you and share a few of the neat things that have happened to Joy Complex in the nine months it's been operating . . . before the holiday season kicks off and you attention is elsewhere focused. 😉

 Sound Wave Jewelry

What started as a lark has grown into something more. Joy Complex is now a recognized name - at least in the 3D Print community - in no small part thanks to friends, family, and some really passionate customers. Thank you all for making Joy Complex a reality. I am excited to see what 2015 has in store!

Joy Complex started with the "I Love You" sound wave collection. I'm happy to say it is still very popular. In fact, sound wave jewelry has grown to over 12 languages (and counting) - and includes pendants, earrings, and rings.  My earrings are even a part of Shapeways 2014 Holiday Gift Guide!

Custom sound wave commissions have been especially in demand - and gratifying to make.  You wouldn't believe the touching stories behind many custom requests - from laughing children to a grandfather's last words - it has been a pleasure to turn voices into cherished keepsakes. People love sound wave jewelry (thankfully!).

In that vein, we recently began turning infant heartbeats into sound wave jewelry!

I am especially proud to announce our partnership with Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania's premier elective ultrasound center -InSightImaging -  so we can offer their clients the best possible representation of their child's heartbeat.

Other partnerships with centers around the United States are forthcoming.

Collaboration With Stilnest

I am also pleased to announce that I have been made a featured designer at the Berlin, Germany based Stilnest. I was honored when they asked if I could design an exclusive sound wave jewelry collection for them.

It was an amazing experience and I am over the moon with the result -SoundScapes.  Each piece is a sculptural landscape representing the words "I - Love - You."  You can find out more about the collection and my inspirations for it here.

A Baton

One last thing to "note" concerning sound waves.  I recently created a conductor's baton using the famous first four notes from Beethoven's 5th Symphony.  You know, "duh-duh-duh-duuuum!" Well I got it in the hands of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conductor, Lawrence Loh and he liked it!  Check out his Instagram photo below! It was even featured in 3DPrint.com!
