origamist
Creases without cutting
An origamist is a person who practices origami, the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures.
The term applies to hobbyists and serious artists alike, from someone who folds paper cranes at their desk to professionals who create elaborate sculptural works.
The origamist spent three hours on a single intricate dragon.
