🌿 Portfolio — Past Work & Fun Concepts
Where ideas grow, evolve, and come to life.
At Amber Glade Creations, our portfolio is a living archive of the projects, prototypes, experiments, and playful concepts that define who we are as makers. This is where you’ll find everything from polished client work to passion-projects that began as late-night sketches or studio curiosities.
Every piece — whether it’s a hand-painted night light, a custom motorcycle component, an assistive-tech prototype, or a playful 3D-printed creature — reflects our core belief that design should be practical, soulful, and human.
