What inspires you to keep making things?
"I believe we’re all kids at heart, and most things in life could be a little more playful. Making is my response to stumbling across a problem or something a little mundane. There’s always room for fun. And we all can always more resourceful and clever with the things we already have."
What one piece of advice would you give to other makers?
"If you have an idea, it’s your opportunity to share it. No one knows what’s in your head until you bring it to life."
What is your biggest takeaway from Making It?
"Trust your gut and follow your intuition. Inspiration comes from our past, from the memories and moments that change and challenge you."
"If you have an idea, it’s your opportunity to share it." — Adam Kingman
