Two founders.
One mission. Detroit.
Andrew Germann
Maker-in-Chief
Andrew brings over 6 years of experience deeply embedded in Detroit's maker and fabrication ecosystem. His multidisciplinary background spans from welding and machining to software engineering and being a bomb tech.
With expertise in CNC routing, laser cutting, 3D printing, CAD design (Fusion 360, OnShape), open-source AI, and home automation, he leads the technical and strategic vision for Tinker Labs.
Krystina Segura
Co-founder & CMO
Having relocated to Detroit in early 2026, Krystina serves as the community architect. She brings 9 years of powerhouse experiential marketing experience.
As a dynamic force behind brand, culture, and experiential programming, Krystina ensures Tinker Labs isn't just a place to build things, but a community that builds people.
Build. Learn. Own.
We believe in repairable-first products. We believe you should own your tools and understand what you build. Tinker Labs operates as an L3C to ensure our community mission always comes first.
