Origami is the art of paper folding. While most people think of paper airplanes, cranes, and frogs, origami has expanded ten fold from a century ago. Many people have developed methods of designing origami (Traditional bases, grafting, circle packing, molecules, box pleating, hex pleating, and polygon packing). With these new methods, a designer has an arsenal of information to design what ever they choose. Just forty years ago, many of the models I have designed would have been impossible without an understanding of some of the methods I listed above. I am fasinated that other origamists have developed these methods and taught it to others like me, mostly through books and videos. The models you see here are merely me using these techniques to design a model. I mostly use box pleating because I find it is the easiest to use and replicate. 

Compared to other crease patterns, mine are relatively simple. But this doesn't mean the model itself is simple, it means there is more opportunity to shape the model to a folders liking. With this website, I try to guide the folder on general tips on how to shape a model.
