Why Hack?

At Makeshift we’re rapidly hacking on digital products that give a leg up to the little guy. We're a team of hackers, designers and product people who get out of bed each morning excited (okay, most mornings) to make new apps that bring our ideas to life.

We're kicking off our new blog series, "Why Hack?" featuring you. We want to know what gets you out of bed in the morning, or more specifically Why and How You Hack!

Over the next month, we will be posting these interviews on our blog + sending them out to our mailing list.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
