MY CREATIVITY WAS SET FREE
with a diagnosis of dyslexia at age 5. People told me I experienced the world differently than others. I was encouraged to explore learning through visual, audio, and hands-on experimentation. I was fortunate to find mentors like my grandfather, a fellow dyslexic, who helped me understand my work was unique and creative, not despite my dyslexia, but because of it.
MAKER
From a young age Heath had an interest in making. This was most likely born out of his love of the tv shows ‘Mythbusters’ and ‘How Its Made’ that present the creative process, and shaped Heath into the type of maker he is today.
MENTOR
The creative process and mentorship go hand in hand. Whether learning from his grandfather or sharing new skills and mediums in the design process, mentorship is important to Heath. Heath and his mentee Micah enjoy spending time in the shop working on projects together.
LEARNER
life long
Heath enjoys learning about different mediums and techniques and talking with and learning from different types of makers. But, his favorite maker to work with and learn from his is Grandpa Ed.
