3D print designs · Apps · Software

Hey, it’s Sara!

We design thoughtful 3D print models and build small apps that make everyday life a little nicer. From sourdough bread to cupcakes.

  • Designs on MakerWorld
  • Community on Patreon
  • Apps without tracking

What we do

Between print bed and app store.

Hey it's Sara is a small, owner-run studio. We bring craft and technology together: everything we design should look good, work well and spark joy.

  • 3D print designs

    We design print-ready models with great attention to detail and publish them on MakerWorld: to download, print and remix.

  • Apps & software

    Our own ideas turn into apps for sourdough fans, cupcake lovers and creators. Built to collect as little data as possible, with no fuss.

  • Community

    On Patreon we take you behind the scenes. Every bit of support helps us work independently on new projects.

Where to find us

Print, follow, support.

Our designs live on MakerWorld, our community on Patreon. Come and say hi, we would love to see you there!

About us

Small, independent and obsessed with details.

Hey it's Sara is a small sole proprietorship with a big passion for design. We sketch, model, print and code, and we keep iterating until a product feels just right.

Our style reflects how we work: clean lines, soft colours and a pinch of playfulness. Whether it is a 3D model or an app, everything should be easy to understand and fun to use.

  • Attention to detail

    We keep refining until form and function fit together.

  • Privacy first

    No trackers, no ads: our apps only store what they really need.

  • Made from experience

    We build what we need ourselves and test it in our own daily lives.
