I’m thrilled to announce that after a decade of moonlighting in the maker movement, I’m now officially a full-time maker and content creator! Starting this week, I’ll be working from my Southern California workshop, designing and building projects and videos for Adafruit Industries.
Adafruit is an open source hardware and electronics company founded by the awe-inspiring engineer Limor “Lady Ada” Fried, and co-run by the highest energy element on the the periodic table, Phil Torrone. I’ve know these wonderful people since the beginning of the maker movement, working together on Make: magazine, Maker Faires, and the Emmy-nominated Make: Television show on American Public Television. I’m proud to be joining them and the rest of the incredible team in our shared goal to encourage and enable anybody to build anything.
There are so many projects I’m excited to start building and sharing in videos and online tutorials. I’ll be making things to appeal to people with wide ranging passions, including cosplayers, home brewers, gamers, magicians, rock climbers, hot rodders, modernist chefs, lock pickers, kids, musicians, mixologists, Burners, escape room designers, aerialists, cyclists, teachers, animators, and coffee fiends, to name a few.
If you’ve got an idea for something you’d like to see me make, please drop me a note in the comments or on my Twitter @johnedgarpark.
You’ll be able to watch my Adafruit videos here, my Learning System tutorials here, my posts on the Adafruit blog. I look forward to meeting you in the Adafruit online hangouts. I’ll also be doing collaborations, speaking, teaching, and other maker activities, please follow my blog for updates — you can subscribe in the sidebar over there on the right.

Congrats young brother! More time to do what you do so well. I have already many ideas to share as you know. When the HyperLoop is running I will blast down to do some kibitzing! ;~} Cheers! Your friend, Kent

You’re on Kent! Thanks much.
Yes. Double Yes. I’m in my man. All the best… it’s gonna be great.
Thanks WW!
Congrats, John! So glad you’re officially back as a full-time maker. Can’t wait to see what you do! Maybe there’s an Arduino super-duper grande in our futures?
Heather, thanks! I can’t recall having seen an Arduino cabin in which you can live yet…
Congratulations on the move, I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of the workshop.
Thanks Rob!
