at*el*ier   (æteljei) n.  an artist's studio || a work-room used for craftwork, a craftsman's shop [F.].

Everyone has a hard time with the pronunciation of Atelier, which sounds like  "at, ell, yay" and which describes my work.

I do design and drafting work, but I also produce artist's conceptual renderings in various media, build prototypes and models, and fabricate and hack all kinds of stuff.

So it really is a studio, I don't just call it that. Atelier is a gallic word, and to the Gauls, atelier also means "work" and also "avocation", which is how I like to feel about what I do.
