we hopped over to the site and immediately something in my gut told me that this was something we were needing\u00a0to discover. \u00a0I had a first conversation with Maker&#8217;s Row while they were in the very experimental phase of offering paid services, and it got started with a brief but powerful conversation which later turned into a more prolonged project where Maker&#8217;s Row helped us push through the parts of their process that weren&#8217;t intuitive to the Badass Backpacks team. \u00a0(Design, Pattern Making, Materials, Sample Making, Tooling, and Manufacturing.) \u00a0Maker&#8217;s Row has been growing up and evolving since I wrapped up my work with them in late 2014. \u00a0 They&#8217;re offering more and their community is growing. \u00a0 I continue to be impressed with what they are creating. \u00a0During all of my work with them: \u00a0they met me exactly where I was in the process. \u00a0They didn&#8217;t waste my time and they helped me move exactly at the pace I was capable of &#8212; which is slower than I thought, and faster than I could&#8217;ve\u00a0imagined. \u00a0You can check them out on <a href=\"http:\/\/makersrow.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">their blog<\/a>, and you can read more about how <a href=\"http:\/\/makersrow.com\/how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\">they work<\/a>. \u00a0I mentioned recently that I want to start thanking some of the amazing people that have helped us get these bags made&#8230; and that begins with a huge <strong>Thank You<\/strong> to the Maker&#8217;s Row team.<\/p>\n<p>So grateful and happy that I got to work with them, and oh yes, we will certainly be working with them again in the future. \u00a0The Badass Backpacks team continues to dream big about the next bags we&#8217;ll be creating. \u00a0And for everything that we create, we&#8217;ll likely need to\u00a0find people who can help us pull it off &#8212;
