About Us

Hello!

Our names are Charlie&Karla! We are the owners of OHR Design and are based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada- say that really fast three times.

I (Charlie) first heard about 3D printers in high school and was fascinated by them. My cousin Jeff showed me his and my thoughts were "what are you supposed to print with this?" I couldn't wrap my mind around it but wanted to understand. I didn't buy my first printer until 2020, and immediately started designing my own models. The need to create has been engrained in me for as long as I can remember. I printed anything and everything that I or my family needed. I am entirely self taught (well, YouTube taught and was also given some gems along the way by very generous people willing to share their knowledge with me.) At the same time I was doing renovations on my Dad's church, learning new skills as a woodworker, and creating new inventions in my mind. 

I met my wife (Karla) in 2022. One of my first memories of her is when she walked into my Dad's church and yelled "IT'S SO BRIGHT OUTSIDE!!" to no one in particular-but I was doing a renovation at the time and heard her (it was Springtime and finally the days were getting longer here in Canada and she was clearly very pumped about that). She was and is a bright light and I was immediately drawn to her. It is fitting that now we design lights together.

I had wanted to design lights for awhile when one day Karla came home from work and said she got a vision for a lighting company. I was so excited because I had never talked to her about designing lights before. It took us awhile to bring the concept into actual reality, but finally here we are. I started designing the prototype for The Reveal lamp in January of 2024 and printed my first complete lamp a month and a half later. I am so glad because we used it a lot in the newborn days of our beautiful and brilliant daughter who was born in April. 

The intention behind this company is: we want to be light in this world, and bring more lights into this world. We love the way that light brings life to everything it touches. Part of what we do with the money from this company is support Kim and Lynn Weiler who partnered with God and began Fe Viva World Missions. How they have helped Guatemala is nothing short of a miracle. 

We truly hope our lamps bring you life and joy,

Blessings, 

Karla&Charlie
