In this interview we spoke with Ryan, co-owner of Hexwood Forge. He runs the business with his wife Kess, who started the operation years before it came to be known as Hexwood Forge.
Hexwood Forge is a small business that makes tabletop accessories. It's run by just the two of them out of their garage with several laser machines, their hands, and creative minds. They started to really ramp things up during the pandemic and since then have scaled up to running two booths during PAX West. And that's no small feat!
We talked with Ryan about a lot of topics, including:
-
Challenges of running a goods-based business out of their garage
-
Effective elements for creating an inviting booth at shows
-
Product ideation and testing
-
and collaborating with other nerdy entrepreneurs to share lessons learned.
