“Hello Maker was a long time coming. As a mildly introverted, obsessively creative millennial, I couldn’t find my place - my people. Sports were not it. Cafes were too anti-social, bars were too overwhelming. I needed a place I actually felt comfortable, where I could meet like-minded people, and not only have an excuse to strike up a convo but an invitation! Light bulb moment! When I started sharing the ideas I had for Hello Maker, I heard a resounding YES because so many others were looking for the same space. I’ve designed Hello Maker from the ground up to be a social gathering place, a home away from home, where creatives - and creatives-in-training are accepted, celebrated, and challenged - because that’s how we grow!”
