Inspiration can come at any time and Hugh decided long ago to embrace it. From building a 2-axis plotter in his basement to proposing a “party glove” because the idea of blasting music out of your hand sounds really fun. Or designing an open source light bar to create large-scale light painting and running a year-long photography project to support the LGBTQ+ community. Random doesn’t need to be intimidating. Sometimes you just need to say “yes” to yourself. Let’s follow the journey of the perpetually distracted Hugh and witness the wonder he creates.
