“Always be prototyping” - Zach Lieberman

I’m a big believer of prototyping as a way of life. Below, you’ll find some of my creative pursuits over the past years. Currently, most of my creative energy is spent with Beets Book Club, a Somerville-based DJ collective where we organize local community events (our recent event saw a crowd of 500+ attendees), train new DJs and experiment with beets and beats.

What about you - what are you prototyping these days?
