Additionally, with this stride to strengthen their executive team in parallel to their vision for the future, MyMiniFactory also announced the addition of Chief Marketing Officer, Salma Elbarmawi in a new extension of officers.

In addition, her experience as founder of an avant-garde luxury jewelry line, allowed her to combine her creative works with science theory in an evolution of fashion; making a debut in London Fashion Week, Spring 2019.

“Artist or designer is more a personal identity than a profession. I’ve never been professionally trained at design school, but my desire for expressing the authenticity of who I am constantly pushes me to challenge the constraints and conventions. During this journey of self-exploration, creative art emerges naturally. I believe art and design is open to all passionate souls, regardless of background. And by joining MyMiniFactory, I will dedicate my efforts to empowering this creative community with exciting opportunities in 3D printing world.” – Chengxi Wang

Alongside the appointed CEO is the introduction of new Chief Marketing Officer Salma Elbarmawi.

Aside from her business endeavors, Elbarmawi is an active philanthropist, contributing to organizations including the American Heart Association Heart and Human Rights Watch.

“Behind every strong company are its people. The people it employs, the people it serves, and the people it impacts. Marketing goes far beyond SEO, it’s the strengthening of human relationships, and I’m delighted at the opportunity to build bridges between our people and our evangelists. I believe that by leveraging the accessible nature of 3D printing and design we can build solutions to create a more equitable world.”

MyMiniFactory’s investment in a robust, people oriented executive team ties in directly to their initiatives towards a more community focused, decentralized platform. Their emphasis on the talented 3D designers and 3D makers of the rapidly growing industry aligns with their mission of enabling a more decentralized ecosystem in the 3D industry.
