About

Hi, I’m Craig — a lifelong maker who loves taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and occasionally putting them back together in a way that might even be better than before. I’ve spent countless hours (and more money than I’d like to admit) building things I absolutely could’ve bought on Amazon for five bucks. But that’s the fun of it: the learning, the tinkering, the problem‑solving, and the satisfaction of saying “Yeah, I made that.”

My projects tend to blend embedded systems development, hardware and PCB design, wireless technologies, and whatever else sparks curiosity at the moment. Whether I’m working with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or some new idea calling my name, I enjoy diving into the details and sharing what I learn along the way. I created Nollstead Studio as a central place to document those adventures, connect with other makers, and build a space where people can learn, trade ideas, and celebrate the joy of creating things — even when we could’ve just checked out with Prime shipping instead.
