Growing up, I seemed to always have a hammer in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Whether it was building the backyard deck or finishing the basement, my parents were the king and queen of DIY. Fortunately for me, I was included in all projects and enjoyed making just as much as they liked teaching me. 

​

Fast forward to present day, every moment of my life has been surrounded by creativity and innovation. Since graduating college, I have led the operations of a university art studio and MakerSpace, taught classes on the value of the Maker Movement, published articles for MAKE: Magazine, and consulted for a variety of established and start-up MakerSpaces across the country. 

​

My goal is aid you in developing or growing your MakerSpace to best suit your audience's needs. I can't wait to hear more about your community as we develop a creative, innovative and collaborative making environment.
