Overview
Building a Home for Creators: Makers Gym, a New Model for Creative Collaboration
Makers Gym is a first-of-its-kind co-creation space designed to fuel the growth of creatives and small businesses through access, community, and high-end resources. As the founder and creative director, I developed the original concept, led all branding efforts, creative directed the interior environment, and developed the creative and operational strategy of the space. From cutting-edge production studios to curated coworking amenities, we built an ecosystem that empowers creators to produce, connect, and grow. Since launch, Makers Gym has served thousands across the DFW area through production services, educational programs, and popular events like our First Friday Open Mic Nights. Our work has earned industry recognition, including the Innovator of the Year Award from the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and a Design Excellence Award from IIDA Texas Oklahoma.
