You Don’t Need to Be an Artist to Create Memories

Once upon a time, if you wanted to make or do something, you did it in real life.

Today, we create and communicate primarily in the digital realm. That's why, even if you're not a skilled artisan, making and sharing handmade items and in-person experiences is so meaningful. It's not only fun, it helps us reconnect on a human level.

Whether it's a customized coffee mug for a friend, fresh-baked cookies for the office, a or a piece of artwork for a charity auction, there's always a great reason to make it real.

Ready to Make It Real?

Hi, I'm Alex Fox. I've been working in the design and digital media industry for over 20 years, and I've seen first-hand how technology can be both helpful and harmful.

There are so many things that divide us: distance, technology, politics ... A lot can come between us. And let's be honest, we spend too much time in front of our screens, and not enough time being creative and connecting with people we care about. Make It Real is my small attempt at trying to fix that.

My goal is to make it easy for you to make and do things that you'll enjoy and that other people will love. Everything is free, and there's no registration or other hassles. Just pick a project and make it real!
