Dear beloved MAKE readers,
Today is my last day as Senior Video Producer for MAKE. The past four years have undoubtedly been the best times of my life so far. I’m immensely thankful to have been a part of such a dedicated, talented team– they’re like family to me. While you won’t be seeing me on the blog, Make: Live, or CRAFT videos any longer, this isn’t so much “goodbye” as “see you around–” I’ll always be a proud member of the maker community.
