As the manager of the STEW Makerspace, I led a comprehensive renovation to enhance its usability and functionality for community and student projects. The renovation included building a new wood workshop and optimizing the overall layout.

Feedback and observations revealed inefficiencies in the makerspace layout, a lack of proper tool organization, and limited capacity to support diverse projects.

I oversaw the renovation, which included reorganization of tools and workstations, new visual signage for guidance, and the implementation of updated safety and user procedures. Additionally, I managed the acquisition of new tools to expand the space’s capabilities.

The renovation significantly improved workflow efficiency, tool accessibility, and user satisfaction, transforming the makerspace into a more effective and inclusive resource.
