Zachary R. Avants

Welcome to, what is hopefully, a place of inspiration, and thank you for being here!

My name is Zac, and I’m a maker from the lovely city of Ventura, CA. I grew up with a deep appreciation and love for art and design. I’ve always had a difficult time liking things casually. Any interest quickly turns to an obsession; whether it’s old cameras, jazz, coffee table books, hydrodynamics, coffee, wine, fine art, you name it; but the through-line in all of my (many) obsessions is making, and the art of it. There are few things that bring me more stress than the idea of being or doing one thing for the whole of my life. So this is me taking a handful of those interests and consolidating them for anyone that may stumble upon this corner of the internet. Please enjoy, and always remember, life’s too short to be a stranger!
