Growing up the typical Star Wars kid in Washington Court House, Ohio, Ryan Krammes became intrigued by special effects and the geeky art side of things. He moved to Columbus to study graphic design at Ohio State University. Krammes built his first 3D printer in 2015 and started taking commissions for making props and sculptures based on the Star Wars, Ratatouille, Kung Foo Panda, and Fallout universes.
