Our Craft in Action

Our Story
Awesome 3D Cards was founded in 2018 by Harlow Russell and is based in Austin, Texas. From the beginning, the company was built around a simple belief: business communication should be thoughtful, personal, and memorable — not disposable.
Harlow’s background blends creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on design. What started as a personal exploration of paper engineering and storytelling quickly revealed a larger opportunity: helping businesses replace forgettable messages with meaningful, physical experiences that people genuinely appreciate.
That idea became the foundation of Awesome 3D Cards.
Today, every project begins as a collaboration. Each card is carefully designed to reflect a client’s message, brand, or story, then laser-cut and hand-assembled with precision and care. By combining imaginative design with disciplined craftsmanship, Awesome 3D Cards creates 3D pop-up experiences that delight, impress, and surprise — while serving a clear business purpose.
In this short video, founder Harlow Russell shares the personal story behind the creation of Awesome 3D Cards and the inspiration that continues to shape the company today.
Every custom project starts with a conversation.
