tim hopkins - Founder / PRODUCT ARCHITECT
I’ve spent my career making ideas tangible through design, engineering, prototyping, and product development. I’m energized by products that solve practical problems with clarity, precision, and purpose.
I’ve always been drawn to the space where engineering and design overlap, where mechanisms, usability, and form work together as one experience.
MakeWright was created to build thoughtful tools for makers, creators, builders, and curious minds. Portal is the first expression of that belief, with more to come.
When I’m not working on professional projects, I’m usually designing and printing household solutions, toys, and ideas that felt worth bringing to life.
kevin sloan - CREATIVE DIRECTOR / INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
Kevin brings a lifelong creative instinct shaped by art, design, materials, and hands-on making. He believes the best tools should not only function beautifully, but feel intuitive, meaningful, and emotionally resonant.
His perspective helps shape the visual language, form, and identity of MakeWright, ensuring every detail carries intention and character.
At MakeWright, Kevin represents the creative counterbalance to utility, helping us build tools that are as inspiring as they are useful.
When he’s away from product work, he’s designing landscapes, building outdoors, or creating with his hands in the physical world.
