About Tabletop Glow Up | Board Game Inserts & Upgrades That Captivate

Tabletop Glow Up is a blog about board game inserts and upgrades, where I share my love for board games. From custom inserts to deluxe components and thoughtful essentials, this blog is all about enhancing the experience at the table.

Using my photography and passion for 3D printing, I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

A Place for All My Hobbies

I’ve always had a lot of hobbies, and when I love something, I go all in. Board games. 3D printing. Board Game Inserts. Photography.

What I love most is how they naturally come together. I’m constantly printing board game inserts, upgrading and blinging my games, and I still get excited about setting up a table and capturing it in photos.

But just as much as I enjoy the process, I love writing about it and sharing it with others. Reading what people are playing, seeing how they’ve upgraded their copies, and swapping experiences is part of what makes this hobby so meaningful to me.
