About Us

Michael Fairbanks is the Director of Operations at Point Designs. He received his BS in Civil Engineering Technology from Colorado State University – Pueblo. After a brief stint in the engineering and inspection industry he shifted to a career in the steel industry in 2006. He spent 10 years working at a Colorado steel mill in the steelmaking, rail rolling and rod & bar mills. He then shifted into the fabrication and construction side of the steel industry for over 7 years with a building manufacturing company producing multi unit residential buildings ranging from five to seventeen stories in height.  Outside of work you can find him spending time with his family, watching hockey, and enjoying his hobbies: woodworking, metal fabricating and 3D printing. 

While studying materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University, Griffin became interested in the potential applications of 3D printing and low cost manufacturing. This led him and a few other classmates to create the North Carolina State University chapter of The Helping Hand Project, a non-profit dedicated to providing free recreational prosthetic devices to children in need. 

After graduating, Griffin was accepted into the Venture for America fellowship, a nonprofit two-year fellowship program that gives recent college graduates startup experiences that help them become leaders who make meaningful impacts with their careers. Through this fellowship, Griffin was connected with Point Designs in 2020. Griffin is passionate about making an impact with the work that he does, and is a firm believer in pursuing your passions and pushing boundaries to create positive change. In his off time, you can find Griffin skateboarding, snowboarding, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.
