BIG NEWS — TOMORROW I’M HEADED TO CHINA!
I’m extremely excited to share that I’ve been chosen as one of the xTool Squad members and content creators traveling to Shenzhen, China next week to celebrate xTool’s 6th anniversary!
When I started Diode Designs years ago with an xTool D1 diode laser, I never imagined it would lead to opportunities like this. Fun fact: that’s actually where the name Diode Designs came from.
While I’m there, I’ll be filming, live streaming, touring the official xTool showroom and factory, meeting with Jasen and the xTool team, and hopefully getting a peek at some new products!
I’ve always said we all start somewhere, and being part of such an awesome community of makers has been one of the best parts of this entire journey. I feel incredibly blessed to work with so many talented and creative people, and the friendships, collaboration, and opportunity to help others along the way have brought me a ton of fulfillment. I’m also really excited to finally work hands-on with many creators and Squad members I talk to online all the time but rarely get to collaborate with in person.
PS: if you have an xTool laser/printer, and you’re interested in joining Xtool Squad shoot me a message! I might be able to help you with that
This is going to be a wild experience, and I can’t wait to share it with y’all! If there’s anything you guys want to see, drop it in the comments below so I can make sure to try to cover it!!!
