Debra Ansell joined us to talk about finding friends and exchanging neat gifts, accidentally tricking people into making unmanufacutable boards, and happy, blinking lights.
Debra is usually known by the moniker GeekMomProjects (also her website is geekmomprojects.com). She has been writing for Make Magazine.
Debra won one of the SuperCon badge add-on awards so her poseable Bendy SAO will be available at SuperCon Europe.
