What does Maker mean to you? A Maker is someone who creates something new, using whatever medium and material is available, regardless of cost or scale.

What do you enjoy most about living and working in San Diego? I love working downtown in a very vibrant community with all income levels, all types, of uses for live work retail play and restaurant.

Any advice or words of wisdom/hopes or dreams pertaining to our City’s future that you would like to share? The city needs to continue to encourage a wide variety of downtown uses, it needs to let experimentation in the public realm and the built environment.
