Electrician and self-taught 3D printing whiz Ivan Perez​ gets his quirky planters in front of more than 500,000 potential buyers at the click of a mouse.


He and wife Pamela Perez, who makes terrariums, are among 5600 registered vendors using the Chooice Facebook group and associated e-commerce website to kick-start their first foray into business.

Pamela Perez left her job as a preschool teaching assistant in 2019 to set up The Twig, a Christchurch business creating tiny gardens in glass containers, and recently husband Ivan largely quit electrical work to make the 3D printed plastic planters he created to go with her terrariums.

The thousands of Kiwis selling their wares on the Chooice website, include Pamela and Ivan Perez who run a Christchurch-based business called The Twig.

Although they have their own websites and the planters sell worldwide via Etsy, Perez said they will maintain a store on Chooice​ which accounts for a third of their sales.

 

More than 67,000 products have sold on Choice in the past 10 months, such as these 3D printed planters made by Ivan Perez which are sold through a business he runs with wife Pamela who says New Zealanders are keen to support locally made goods.
