Overlooked problems, everyday solutions
OrdaForma delivers smart, 3D-printed solutions to everyday inconveniences. Founded by student entrepreneur Gage Emmerich, we design simple, practical tools — magnetic note dispensers for teachers, car napkin holders, and full-outfit hangers.
It started with one teacher's wish: sticky notes that live right on the whiteboard, with a pen that never wanders off. Gage built her one. Then her colleagues wanted them. Then the principal. Today the MAGNOTE comes off six 3D printers in an Effingham, Illinois workshop — 260 of them went to Effingham Unit 40's staff, and 130 sold in a single evening at the CEO Trade Show.
We turn overlooked problems into everyday solutions.
Gage Emmerich, CEO
Gage is an 18-year-old senior at Effingham High School who built OrdaForma through the Effingham County CEO program — from a single prototype for one teacher to a six-printer workshop producing MAGNOTES by the hundreds, featured in the Effingham & Teutopolis News Report.
Every product starts the same way: someone shows him a small, daily annoyance nobody bothered to fix. He fixes it. Take back — your time.
