Having worked closely with Google over many years, I am fascinated and inspired by their "maker mentality".
Employees are encouraged to tinker and prototype with ideas and new product ideas to see what can come from human curiosity and wonder.
To encourage that philosophy with the wider public, Google started an enterprise called Google Campus.
Google Campus
Google Campus is a startup space in the heart of Tech City, East London.
Simply bring your idea and the people at Google Campus will connect you to the right web builders, strategists or anyone else that you might need to bring them to life.
I decided to work from Google Campus for six months to start a small business of my own.
This is the story of that business.
But first, an overview of Campus:
