Hey, Justin! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hey, thanks for having me! I’m Justin Fogarty. Retail supervisor by day, freelance maker/designer by night. Avid PC and video game nerd, but I’m sure you already knew that.
I’m an aspiring musician and content creator. Recently I started a YouTube channel in which I make things, accompanied with (mostly) music I’ve made. Being a full-time content creator is my dream so go subscribe, would ya?
I have the sweetest girlfriend, the coolest daughter, and the most spoiled chihuahua. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without my two amazing parents. Hi mom and dad! I love you!
My first PC was a Packard Bell running Windows 95 and my first true love was Sega’s Comix Zone, which I still play on occasion. Microsoft Paint started off my life-long obsession with designing.
From cramming bitmaps on a 100MB floppy to rendering 100GB+ videos in a matter of minutes, it’s amazing to see how far home computing has come in my lifetime. My first console was a Nintendo 64 so naturally, I grew up as a Nintendo fanboy.
Perhaps my biggest inspiration as a maker is the one and only Adam Savage.
I would absolutely love a day to pick his brain.

“PVC Battlestation 1.0” is my handmade desk that sits in my living room.
It is made out of one 4×8″ sheet of PVC board, a few miles of 1″ aluminium tubing, and enough USB extensions to connect to the moon.
