Introduction
Fueled by a passion for animatronic technology, immersive ride systems, and dynamic storytelling, I’m pursuing a career in the imaginative world of themed entertainment.
YouTube Channel - Ryker Drake
A self-titled art & engineering related channel centered around challenging myself to engineer & build objects. Utilizing means of CAD, 3D modeling, 3D printing, & multimedia project development. Each project is followed by a showcase in video and photo formats. [Click the tiles below to learn more]

Icebreaker Index Cards

AutoDesk Fusion 360, Cura Slicer, Creality Ender 3
Inspired by the common social phrase of 'break the ice', I designed and printed 18 'Ice-breaking' cases to encourage conversation on my college campus. More affordable and more satisfying than commercial conversation cards. Each case features four magnets and helps to create the 'break the ice open effect'.
Water Pump Recreation

SolidWorks, Cura Slicer
As an introduction into the world of mechanical engineering, I was tasked along with three others (credited in video) to recreate a water pump. We chose to do a rope pump design with a 3D printed rotating wheel and plungers.
