Speaker
- JMJeffrey McGrewMy lifelong goal is to make the world a more interesting place. For over 20 years I've done this by making great things. Along the way, I've become a licensed architect, designed and helped make one of the world's finest bars, turned shipping containers into playrooms for adults, revitalized defunct commercial spaces, given a children's zoo a steampunk makeover, helped built one of the largest digitally-fabricated structures in history (and witnessed its planned immolation). I've founded companies, advised startups and industry incumbents alike, built software to make making easier, taught salvaged industrial robots how to dance, and built huge 3D printers to print sustainable furniture. Since 2006, I've been the co-founder and principal architect of www.bwcarchitects.com, an award-winning design-build architecture studio in Oakland, California. In 2018 I helped co-found www.model-no.com, a new digitally fabricated, on-demand, sustainable furniture brand and acted as their CTO until the beginning of 2023. And now in 2023 I'm working with some amazing people on a new DFMA & advanced fabrication service company for AECO named secretweaponworkshop.com. I've helped build brilliant and dynamic teams and fostered the deep client, community, and industry relationships a small creative firm and start-up needs to succeed. As co-founder, lead architect, and CTO my responsibilities for design direction, tech stack, and digital fabrication strategies are balanced with the more quotidian business demands of sales, marketing, and project management. I love to meet new people, be challenged by new ideas, solve problems, learn new ways of working, develop new ways of making, to teach and share all I know, and perhaps most importantly, to work with great people to bring great things to life.
