Back on May 23rd, I put out a call for makers with less than 5000 followers on Instagram to see if anyone would be interested in making stuff for a project party. I deemed this group “microinfluencers” and offered myself as a mentor for whatever they needed during the party and after. Since I’d never done anything like this, I wasn’t sure how it would work or if anyone would respond and boy oh boy was I happily overwhelmed by the hundreds of submissions that came my way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all the amazing makers who took the time to come up with awesome ideas it really meant the world.
A few months later, the Catch & Release Project Party begins on August 19th, so get ready to get your socks knocked off folks because these makers most definitely brought it.
