Please join us in welcoming Will Holman to BMOD’s Board of Directors.
Will is the CEO of Open Works, a nonprofit makerspace in Baltimore where people learn to make things, and where making leads to careers. He was educated as an architect at Virginia Tech and at Auburn University’s Rural Studio, and before Open Works he worked as an architectural designer, carpenter, artist’s assistant, cabinetmaker, furniture designer and educator.
He is the author of Guerilla Furniture Design (2015). His next book, Makerspace: Civic Infrastructure for the Digital Age, comes out in the fall of 2027.
We are thrilled. BMOD’s work begins with a question: How do we turn Baltimore into a city of makers? How might the processes of production needed to rebuild our city provide job training and employment opportunities to our city’s inhabitants? Will has spent ten years answering that question at Open Works. He shares our vision of a Baltimore-grown global hub for industrialized construction: planning, design, fabrication, manufacturing and workforce development. He joins our Board alongside Christina D. Long, AIA, Ethan Cohen, AICP, Richard Manekin and Tyrell Dixon.
Let’s activate a region of makers.
Welcome, Will.
