Ryan Wilcoxson
Director of Operations & Development

Ryan’s history of making stuff started early in his youth building astonishingly unsafe bike ramps out of scrap wood and rusty nails. In the ensuing decades, he obtained his BA in Cinematic Arts & Technology, owned a San Francisco-based design studio, and founded a successful nonprofit makerspace in 2016. Today,  Ryan is glad to be part of the CraterWorks community and is here to help creative innovation thrive.

Having a mentor is awesome, whether they walk through or just spitball ideas- irreplaceable. Having the right tools from the start, especially when you are doing something new
- member, Andrew Paterson

As our membership base of thinkers and makers continues to grow, so does our small-but-mighty crew. Operating as a collaborative team, each CraterWorks staff member and steward brings their own diverse set of innovative skills and experiences to support our shared passion of fueling creative expression in the community. Whether they’re teaching classes, developing partnerships or making something incredible, these are the people who help make CraterWorks what it is.

Having access to the braintrust or the shop masters, members,
and other CraterWorks staff really helped
