About

Hey, I’m Eric or @swebra. This is my website dedicated to documenting all my creations and other adventures, good and bad. Enjoy your stay!

More About Me

I’m a maker and tinkerer in Alberta, Canada and a software engineer during the day. I got started as a kid making digital art, mostly because the undo button nicely complemented my great inability. Internet-taught, I continued to explore photo manipulation, logo design, 3D modeling, game development, visual effects, and small electronics. Nowadays, I’m still adding to my maker tool belt as I explore different projects, but am most often in the world of software or 3D printing. Outside of making, I’m probably playing guitar, following motorsports, or obsessing over optimizing my workflow.

The Name

swe·bra (/’swibɹɑ/)

Its origin is a short story from my childhood; My youngest sister could not pronounce her Z’s, and therefore often needed help doing up her “swipper,” or would ask why rabbits run in “swig-swags.” When we first went to the zoo, she was rather surprised to see a “swebra,” giving me the alias I’d later adopt.
