About the Authors

Mike Cheung -- As the co-founder and production director of The Tinkering Monkey Workshop, Mike is a DIY enthusiast who believes that if something can be built, modified, or invented, then it should be. Mike grew up in Georgia shootin' guns and cow tipping, but now lives a much safer life as an industrial designer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Paula Cheung -- As the other half of the Tinkering Monkey team, co-founder Paula Cheung handles the operation end of things. She runs the monkey business and connects with like-minded people in the design and DIY community. On the rare occasion she's not geeking out in front of the computer, she can be found either baking, disco dancing, or talking to her rabbit.
