I was the co-founder and director of the UK’s biggest independent DIY technology festival. It ran 2011-15.
Brighton Mini Maker Faire was a festival of DIY technology, hacking, invention, creativity, craft, tinkering and innovation. We were the first independent Maker Faire in the UK, and have had over 10,000 visitors to the 4 festivals we ran.

Brighton Mini Maker Faire took place every September, as part of Brighton Digital Festival. We played around with other formats and ways of making, including fanzines and exhibitions.
