Indianapolis native Brian Hull brings a unique blend of artistic vision and technical expertise to Maker Factory. He honed his lifelong passion for building and crafting doing construction work while earning a BFA at the Herron School of Art and Design. His senior year at Herron, he saw the potential of marrying art and engineering. This fascination led him to pursue design engineering for over 15 years, translating designs into real-world structures. Yet, he desired a more hands-on, collaborative approach to creation. He traveled around the country to learn more about the maker movement. He attended makerspace conferences and gatherings, and met with members of the makerspace community. In 2020 he launched his own makerspace. While initial classes and meet-ups were unfortunately cut short by the pandemic, Brian's vision remains undimmed. He forges a new path that blends the collaborative spirit of makerspaces with the possibilities of business, fostering a vibrant community built on connection and innovation.
