Sofia Little
Sofia is a senior at Gunn and enjoys eating cucumber sushi, although has expanded her palette to garlic bread. Her favorite projects often include lots of woodworking, but end up taking a lot of time to complete as she is also very good at procrastinating. Outside of MakeX she enjoys building sets for theater productions, and drinking boba.

Nicholas Mo
I’m Nicholas, a senior at PALY whose hobbies include design and fashion. At MakeX, my favorite tool would definitely be the laser cutter. I love functional design, so most of my personal projects are aimed to improve quality of life, such as a watch stand, and desk organization.
