Services
Maker and media learning spaces that people actually use.
I design and launch makerspaces, media studios and creative learning programs for colleges, universities, municipalities and community organizations. I also build the programming and staff capability that keep those spaces busy long after opening day. I've built these spaces, staffed them, taught in them, and written the book on setting them up.

Introductory Chat
Free
Book free chat30 minutes to talk through what you're building and whether I'm the right fit.
Clarify
From $1,500
Book a scoping callKnow what you're building, and what not to buy, before the money moves.
You get a written decision document: what this space or program is for, who it actually serves, what to build first, what to leave out, and what it costs to run in year one. Written to be handed to a board, attached to a budget request, or dropped into a tender.
Typical work at this level:
- A review of a planned creator space that reset what it was for before any equipment was bought
- Six sessions of new curriculum for a university course, designed and documented before delivery
Build
