Our story

A family studio, one layer at a time

LuGa was created from our kids' names, Lu and Ga — they're the biggest inspiration behind this shop. Whatever they're drawing, building, or obsessing over this week is usually where the next design starts.

It began with printing decor for their room. Then they brought home the colorful plaster masks they'd made at school, and that same playful, rainbow energy shaped everything here since — from the designs themselves to the colors on our banner and logo.

Other ideas come from the things we do together. Our Wildlife collection started with a family safari trip and the thrill of seeing lions, leopards, rhinos, and elephants up close with the kids.

Every piece is modeled by hand in Fusion 360, refined so it prints cleanly and holds up, then brought to life in vibrant PLA filament in our home studio.

"LuGa" was created by blending parts of their names — Lu and Ga. Everything in this shop starts with something one of them made, drew, asked for, or loved doing with us.

Our collections, all 3D printed with more on the way

Kids' Art Conversion

Your child's drawing, in 3D

Send a photo of your child's drawing and it comes back as a vivid, textured 3D keepsake — hand-modeled, not a generic template. Choose your shape and frame color. Every order includes a free matching fridge magnet.

Handwritten Name Signs

Their name, in their own handwriting

Send a photo of your child writing their name and we trace every wobble, loop, and backwards letter by hand — no fonts, no retyping. It comes back as a bold, textured 3D printed sign for their door or shelf, in your choice of colors, with a free add-on shape like a heart, dinosaur, or crown. You see a digital preview before anything is printed. A keepsake of how they write their name today.
