Maria Elena Hoover

Co-Founder & Chief Production Officer at Make Fashion

As a graphic designer she has been doing consulting work for several small businesses, however her passion for the arts became the main focus when her and her husband opened Endeavor Arts in 2010 and ran the gallery for 7 years. Since then she has continued to work to build a vibrant inclusive community around the convergence of art, fashion and technology hosting workshops, events and runway shows in North America and China, where every piece that goes on the runway tells an inspiring story or celebrates a specific culture. She also has been actively involved in the broader arts and maker community in Calgary with Fuse33 Makerspace where MakeFashion has their office and work space.
