What is make +SHift?

It all began with an idea to have a creative space where I could build my ideas and work with other creative people to build their ideas too. Since make+SHift opened in 2011, we have been working with a wide breadth of people from small scale clients like entrepreneurs, artisans, and woodworkers to larger companies and architects, mechanical engineers, and universities.

Over the years, the roles have ranged design design to fabrication to support. Each year our experience grows as we engage on new and exciting projects with our clients.
