Novice Media

Documenting the journey of a novice maker.

I’m Zach—a creator who’s spent years obsessed with camera gear, but lately, I’ve realized I’m more interested in how things are made than just what’s in the box.

Novice Media is a project about the "learning gap." I’m not an engineer and I don't have a workshop background—I'm just someone who loves the process of making stuff. Whether it’s designing custom camera mounts in Fusion 360, exploring the endless possibilities of 3D printing, or finding budget-friendly ways to level up a home studio, I’m documenting the wins and the (many) fails along the way.
