Cre8lab

2019

Co-founder · Instructor · Director

The Fox Valley's only nonprofit makerspace — a 501(c)3 STEM education center in Neenah, Wisconsin. Co-founded with Eric Brehm in 2019. We built out the space ourselves, ran workshops in soldering, electronics, CNC, woodworking, and robotics for youth and adults across the community. Survived COVID, donated 28,000 ear savers to frontline workers in 2020, and ran for five years before demand outgrew what two people and their families could sustainably carry. Closed with pride.
