CREATE with Thing Maker™ Joshua Wills
• – • Junkyard Social Club
About the speaker
Denver-based Joshua Wills is, at his core, a Thing Maker™. Designer, artist, entrepreneur, and founding partner of Consume & Create. For more than two decades, he has followed a compulsion to build things that bring people together. From launching campaigns and products for global brands like Oakley and The North Face to opening a DIY clothing shop, cupcake + cereal café, retail spaces, and art galleries, his work lives wherever creativity and community collide. And when he’s off the clock, he’s still making art. While his output may appear eclectic, even unruly at times, every project traces back to the same driving force: an irrepressible need to make.
Local partners
As a local, independent bakery, our choices are entirely guided by a desire to nourish our neighbors and foster community. Over the years, we’ve continually refined our process to better serve those goals, sticking to the following practices: Moxie Bread Co. is a community‑focused, independent bakery committed to nourishing neighbors through traditional, sustainable practices. They bake with organic, unprocessed heirloom grains sourced directly from family farms, use long slow fermentation for better digestion and nutrition, and partner with local Colorado artisans to feature high‑quality, values‑aligned products in their shops.
