The Maker Movement is a global phenomenon where people (Makers) combine modern technology with artisanal tradition to create things.  Recognizing that there was no social media app specifically for Makers, I designed the MӒKR app along with three fellow designers. The MӒKR app is designed to serve four major purposes:  to allow Makers to connect with other Makers in their area, to alert Makers to nearby events they might be interested in, to provide Makers with inspiration for new projects, and to create a marketplace for materials that Makers need for their projects.
