I was able to fit a few individual interviews into the family travel schedule, and undertook a major interview trip.
I interviewed Danielle early in 2013. She spoke about how she became interested in electronic engineering, hardware hacking, and the opportunities for building community online. She also spoke compellingly about the challenges of transitioning in the work place.
