Historical stats - Makerviews Website:

Example blog posts, latest Miniviews

The Miniviews series

This series profiles a wide variety of makers, asking these talented individuals two questions. That’s it, two questions. As makers, we all need to support each other in getting out there and making things. With that, brevity is key.

Check out some posts from the Miniviews series, providing insight from makers of all kind.

Authenticity, at the core.

Hey, it's Scott Mathson, Founder of Makerviews. My own journey — Makerviews is solely run by me from western Montana. I've spent time as a singer-songwriter, drummer, digital web designer, developer, audio/video/media engineer, a woodworker, an apprentice to a master cabinet-maker, and so much more.

Digital: I first started publishing to the web when I started a recording studio in 2008 and needed a place to promote the studio’s services, blog about releases, and host a musician's podcast. Since then, I've continued building on and advocating for owning your own corner of the web. For a decade-plus, I've been focusing on designing, developing, marketing, and optimizing a variety of projects and properties on the web.

Handmade: In 2013, I started a handmade, wood goods company called Whiskey Wood Creations, offering carpentry/woodworking services and selling custom furniture and a line of Montana-themed goods to customers. In 2015, I took on a role overseeing media production, web & content marketing, and more for creator and YouTuber DIY Pete.

"Scott is a hard worker and someone who is dedicated to setting goals and obtaining them. Scott is knowledgeable of content creation, content management, SEO, and online marketing. Scott played an active roll in making sure tasks and big projects were done effectively and efficiently. He is proficient in video editing, filming, and Youtube video creation. Scott is also a very personable, reliable, family oriented, and great all around person."

Scott Mathson, Maker

There's no two ways around it - I'm a maker. Creating something, whether it's designing and developing a website for a client, or engineering and mixing a record, or creating a custom walnut slab bar-top, or writing a new song of my own - it's embedded in my core. It's who I am. It's what I do. Just like you, I make things.

"Being a designer and maker means more than just brainstorming, it means dreaming, breathing, and living the piece that you’re making. Heart and soul, blood, sweat, and tears."—Scott Mathson
