Eric Hotchkiss

Eric Hotchkiss, interdisciplinary designer, engineer, and founder of Made in Englewood, builds community-shaped spaces. He recalls DIY childhood making and explains designing with neighborhoods, youth-led projects like a miniature golf course, and creating lasting artifacts and an Afro-diasporic outdoor kitchen. He discusses relinquishing control, documenting local stories, and why now feels like the right time to make things.
