Meet The Makers: Meredith Scheff

Mark Frauenfelder 8:52 am Tue May 17, 2011

Brookelynn Morris says: "The first thing Meredith Scheff ever made was, and I quote, "probably a mess!" She quickly moved onto creating things much more worthwhile. Her North Star Skirt was one of the most interesting projects at Maker Faire last year. Meredith defies description as a comic book-writing-soft circuit-designing-soldering-sewing-creative force.

Meredith will be displaying her projects at Maker Faire Bay Area, May 21 & 22. There you can meet her, and her razor sharp wit!"
