Project 1: Cardigan Mountain Fridge Magnet

Home Away From Home

---

When I first started exploring 3D design, I wanted to make something personal. My mom collects fridge magnets from everywhere we travel, so I thought — why not make her one from Cardigan? I used AI to generate ideas based on the school’s wildcat mascot, main building, and campus green. Then I converted the 2D image into a 3D model. This project taught me the basics of turning a concept into a printable design. It’s simple, but it’s where everything started.
