Hey! I started working with the Innovation Cetner back in 2019 and am happy to be back! I'm an easy going guy who enjoys the simple things and am overly sarcastic. Probably find me around the studio. I'm easy to talk to so don't be afraid to ask me for help. I also really enjoy getting to know new people, so come introduce yourself! I will always do my best to help you out, or at least keep the conversation interesting.

Hello, I'm Edward! This is my fourth semester here at FLC. I've played cello for about eight years now. I enjoy making musical instruments and using the 3D Printers and the Laser Cutter.
I'm always happy to help with projects or fix the 3D Printers if you need any assistance.

Keira Foster
This is my second year at FLC studying theatre arts. I love sewing and historical fashion, and I’m always working on some kind of fiber arts project. I’d love to one day be able to construct my own period-accurate Edwardian corset, but for now it’s a bit beyond my skill level.
I usually come off a bit quiet, but I’m always willing to help with anything I can. Even if I don’t have the answer to a question, I’ll do whatever I can to find out, so feel free to ask.

Nathan Holgate
Hi! I’m Nathan (or Nate) Holgate and I’m a chemistry major here at FLC. My goal is to transfer to some University nearby where I’ll get my bachelors, then master’s degree in a to-be-determined branch of Chemistry.
I personally specialize in both the Filament and Resin 3D Printers, and am somewhat experienced with the Laser Cutters. I’ll do my best to answer any questions about those machines, and I’m here to chat about whatever else is on your mind. Or I’ll simply say hi if you want to say hi.
Note: if you know anything about Doctor Who, my favorite doctor is 11 ;)

Gale Lopez
Hello gamers, my name is Gale! I'm majoring in Computer Science and my plan is to complete a certificate in AI and Machine Learning. My hobbies include learning emo songs on guitar, drawing, making clay trinkets, coding silly games and simple robots. I'm an easygoing chill guy and I love to see what people are creating.
I’m happy to be working on anything involving microcontrollers, programming, and traditional/digital art. I believe everyone has something valuable to contribute to the crafts!

Haven O’Donnell
Greetings! I am a humble Biology major with a focus on Wildlife Biology. I absolutely love nature, especially birds and insects, and I love an outdoor adventure! Other activities I enjoy are roller skating, analyzing films, and hunting for bugs! I love art about as much as I love wildlife, and my favorite forms are traditional/digital art. I like to extend my creativity to other mixed media, and crafting things out of scraps is always a fun challenge! If you see me around, I always have a great time looking at what other people are creating so I am happy (and eager) to learn more about your projects!
