We asked some of our favourite content creators how they define the word ‘maker’, and what being a maker means to them.

It was at this very hour 1 year ago TODAY I left the Adobe offices for the last time and began my career as a host and content creator. ONE YEAR HOLY COW! #highfive https://t.co/fQ6wBGY8Ch

Laura Kampf

Based in Cologne, Germany, Laura Kampf is best known for her dog, Smudo.

She also built her own tiny house, complete with an additional tiny house for Smudo.
