Savage was hired to assemble miniature Tiffany shopping bags by taking a printed out design and folding it repeatedly to build a three-dimensional shape, similar to how you would build a paper airplane or a paper origami animal. "I think I got paid $6 an hour for about seven hours of work," Savage says.
Over the years, Savage estimates he has worked over 25 jobs in completely different industries. "Public access cable programmer, library page, paper boy, graphic designer, stack camera operator, type spec, theater rigger, carpenter, painter, costume designer, prop maker, set builder, public speaker, author," Savage recounts, not to mention TV host."Every Tool's a Hammer: Life is What You Make It.
"If I had one piece of advice that I would pass on to young makers, to my sons, to any young maker interested in exploring, it's to get good at listening — to your collaborators, your co-workers, your employees, your employers," Savage says.
