I made this paddle for my Little in my fraternity as a spoof on typical fraternity culture. It was my first time using any sort of Illustrator software and the laser cutter AND I was using my own material, and the staff was so unbelievably helpful in making my vision come to life! They did everything from helping me avoid getting scorch marks to modifying my original design to fix problems in ways I never would have come up with! I plan on using the design lab much more often after my incredibly positive experience.
