M3 (MishMashMakers) is a research and technical writing consultancy that was started by a Computer Scientist who loves to make things.
Although fabrication technologies have become cheaper and more user friendly, there are still significant technical, financial and knowledge barriers that prevent most people from integrating these technologies into their creative workflows. M3 seeks to improve access to these fabrication techniques and computational design by developing methods, blue prints, and proof-of-concept prototypes to reduce the technology barriers that makers encounter, thus empowering non-technical users to realize their creative potential.
Leveraging over a decade of experience in technical writing, crafting, and programming, we also seek to advance the state of the art in Human Computer Interaction, making, fabrication by contributing to the academic community through our own academic research (see Research Lab) and helping others with their academic research (see Technical Writing).
Our clients and partners include graduate students, academic researchers, industry researchers, educational institutions, non-profits, and small to medium-sized companies.
