The Vexel Tools
Grounded in Experience. Crafted for Presence. Built With Purpose.
The Vexel™ family began as something deeply personal — a private attempt to create a tactile grounding tool that could help restore presence, regulate the nervous system, and offer a moment of safety when the mind becomes overwhelmed.
For years, grounding for me was something I had to build alone. Nothing on the market matched what my body actually needed: something firm, textured, rhythmic, and intentional. Something that wasn’t childish, wasn’t medicalized, and wasn’t just another mass-produced fidget.
So I turned my skills in design, engineering, and 3D printing toward a quiet question:
“What would a grounding tool look like if it were made by someone who truly understands what grounding feels like?”
The answer became The Vexel™.
What “Vexel” Means
The name Vexel comes from a combination of:
Vex — the tension, restlessness, or internal “buzz” that so many people with trauma, anxiety, ADHD, or chronic stress carry
-el — a suffix used in tools (chisel, bevel, easel) representing something purpose-built and functional
Together, Vexel means:
“A tool designed to meet you in moments of inner unrest.”
Every Vexel tool exists to transform tension into regulation — not by suppressing sensation, but by redirecting it into something structured, rhythmic, and safe.
The Philosophy Behind the Vexel Family
Each Vexel design is born from a single principle:
Grounding should feel intentional, adult, and empowering — not childish or clinical.
The Vexel tools are not toys.
They’re tactile, sensory instruments designed to help:
anchor attention
activate proprioceptive feedback
release stored tension
calm overstimulation
provide rhythmic self-soothing
restore connection to the body
They’re built through a blend of lived experience, neurosensory science, and practical hand ergonomics.
Nothing here is theoretical.
Everything is tested on real hands, real skin, real nervous systems.
Why These Tools Exist
Because grounding, for many people, is not optional.
It’s a lifeline.
For trauma survivors.
For people with anxiety.
For people with ADHD or sensory dysregulation.
For people who dissociate or feel disconnected from their bodies.
For anyone who simply needs a moment to breathe.
The Vexel tools were created out of necessity — born from my own journey toward presence, safety, and emotional regulation.
And once they worked for me, I knew they could work for others.
This project was protected, nurtured privately, and brought into the world only when it became truly whole.
Now it exists so others don’t have to walk that same journey alone.
The Vexel Family (A Glimpse)
(Each product has its own dedicated page — here is the heart behind them.)
The Vexel V3
A precise, balanced handheld tool designed for rhythmic micro-grounding.
Built for moments when you need immediate, controllable sensory input.
The Vexel Gyro
A spinning tactile ring offering smooth, circular motion combined with external tactile points — ideal for pacing, fidgeting, and refocusing the mind.
The Vexel Porcupine
A larger, full-palm tactile tool designed to give deep, compressive stimulation and bilateral grounding.
Used gently, it can unlock powerful emotional release.
Each product is handcrafted through 3D printing with specialty materials chosen for clarity, texture, strength, and responsiveness.
The Vexel Sea Urchin
A sculptural tactile tool combining focused palm pressure with a deliberate mechanical click.
Designed to offer grounding through both compression and sound, it invites intentional interaction while remaining calm and unobtrusive at rest.
Accessible by Design
The Vexel family was never meant to become a luxury or a status symbol.
Grounding belongs to everyone.
That’s why:
materials are chosen for both quality and accessibility
production methods are optimized to keep costs fair
each tool is priced in a way that opens the door to as many people as possible
I do not believe in turning healing tools into overpriced novelties.
I believe in creating something people can actually use.
Made in Small Batches. By One Pair of Hands.
Each Vexel tool is:
designed
printed
checked
finished
packaged
by me, personally.
This isn’t mass-manufactured.
It’s small-scale craftsmanship with intention behind every layer.
More Than a Product — A Moment of Safety
The Vexel exists for people who need grounding tools that finally fit:
your hands
your nervous system
your sensory needs
your real, lived experience
If the Vexel tools find their way to you, I hope they serve you the way they have served me:
Not as a cure.
Not as therapy.
But as a companion — a tool that meets you exactly where you are, in the moments when you need it most.
The Vexel Vaults
Grounded in Care. Designed for Protection. Built to Hold What Matters.
The Vexel Vaults were not created as packaging.
They were created as homes.
As the Vexel tools took shape, I became aware of something important: when a tool exists to help regulate the nervous system, the way it is stored matters just as much as how it is used. A grounding tool should not be tossed into a drawer, buried under clutter, or treated as disposable.
It deserves rest.
It deserves protection.
It deserves a place to return to.
The Vaults emerged from that understanding.
Why the Vaults Exist
For many people, grounding is not casual.
It’s intentional.
It’s personal.
It’s often deeply tied to safety.
When a tool helps you come back into your body, it becomes more than an object. It becomes something you trust. Something you reach for during moments of vulnerability. Something that carries emotional weight.
The Vexel Vaults exist to honor that relationship.
They create a boundary between use and rest — a physical signal that the tool inside is cared for, protected, and ready when needed again. Opening a Vault is meant to feel deliberate. Closing it is meant to feel complete.
Inspired by Traditional Craft, Not Modern Packaging
In traditional Japanese craftsmanship, tools and meaningful objects are often stored in paulownia boxes — simple, lightweight containers designed not to impress, but to preserve. These boxes are used not because the objects inside are fragile, but because they are valued.
The Vexel Vaults draw from that same philosophy.
They are intentionally minimal.
They avoid ornamentation.
They exist to serve the object inside, not distract from it.
Every fit, edge, and closure is designed with longevity and quiet function in mind. The Vault does not compete with the Vexel tool — it supports it.
Containment as a Form of Grounding
Grounding is about creating structure where there is overwhelm.
Containment is the external reflection of that same principle.
The Vault provides a place where the tool can exist safely when it is not in your hand. A space free from chaos, damage, or distraction. A reminder that not everything needs to be accessible all the time — some things are meant to be protected until they are needed.
In this way, the Vault becomes part of the grounding process itself.
Optional by Design. Intentional by Nature.
The Vexel Vaults are not required.
The tools stand on their own.
The Vaults exist for those who value:
ritual
care
intentional storage
and the quiet reassurance of knowing where something meaningful belongs
They are offered as companions — not upgrades, not status symbols, not luxury packaging.
Just a considered place for a grounding tool to rest.
A Home for Tools That Hold You
