Behind The Beam

Precision With a Pulse. Built in Alameda.

Most awards are destined for a dusty shelf. At StrngCreations, I enjoy creating the ones people actually keep. I’m a Veteran-owned, one-person shop based right here in Alameda, California. I don’t just "run jobs through a machine"; I’m a tinkerer and a craftsman obsessed with the intersection of high-tech lasers and raw materials. When I’m not in the shop calibrating my beams, I’m usually experimenting with how to make stone, wood, acrylic, vinyl, and UV resin play nice together.

The "Strng" Way: Three Lasers, Zero Shortcuts

I’ve invested in UV, CO2, and Fiber lasers because "good enough" isn't in my vocabulary. The Fiber handles the heavy lifting on metals and stone. The CO2 breathes life into wood, leatherette, and acrylic. The UV allows me to pull off high-detail "cold" marks on materials other shops won't touch. But the tech is only half the story. My "signature" is the mashup. I love the challenge of trying to combine the ruggedness of stone with the sleekness of acrylic, or finishing a wood and vinyl piece with glass-like UV resin. It’s about creating a tactile experience—something that feels as substantial as the achievement it represents.

Why Work With a Solo Veteran?

When you partner with me for your race or event, you aren't getting a customer service rep; you’re getting the person with the safety glasses on.
Direct Mission Support: You give me the brief, and I execute with military-grade attention to detail.
Podium-Ready Quality: I enjoy crafting those "Top Finisher" awards that make athletes stop and say, "Whoa, this is cool."
Alameda Local: I’m proud to serve the Bay Area event community. If you’re local, you aren't just a client; you’re a neighbor.

Custom Memories with a Soul

For those looking for personalized gifts, I bring that same "over-engineered" quality to your personal memories. Whether it’s a handful of custom acrylic-and-UV resin keychains, an acrylic-and-wood keepsake, a bamboo charcuterie set, or a stack of slate coasters, it’s built to last longer than we are.
