What does being a Maker mean to you?
Being a Maker means having a hands-on approach to designing and producing products. They are dedicated to producing something special. And also producing something people enjoy on a personal level. Makers are generally involved in grass-roots businesses and not interested in mass production.
What kind of making do you do?
We make a special pendant that is highly efficient at absorbing ionizing electromagnetic radiation. It transforms harmful UVC into UVA (good ultraviolet) which supports and vitalizes the body. Wearing the Pendant in the center of the chest helps protect the body from damaging UVC (bad ultraviolet) and helps eliminate free radicals.
What is your favorite part of being a Maker? What is your least favorite part?
We enjoy creating a product that promotes healthy happy people. The biggest challenge to being a maker is helping people understand the value of our product.
Where do you find inspiration as a Maker?
Spread health and vitality to everyone in the world through accessible means.
What was the last thing you saw/read/learned about that made you say, “Wow!”
That you can clean sponges by putting them in the microwave for a minute!
If you could give advice to an up-and-coming Maker, what would it be?
Find your audience and create something completely new and innovative. Meet a need in a way that stretches people’s minds.
Why did you decide to participate in the Reno Mini Maker Faire?
We are a new business to the Reno area and feel this event would be a great way to interact with the community and spread positivity through our product.

Spreading quickly! Many businesses are opening in the Reno area that carry hand-made, unique products. People like products that are made through quality craftsmanship and dedication to creating something special. Makers are a hotbed of innovation and change.
