Left a dream job to pursue his passion: Conway Liao — Hudson Wilder, MAKERS15 EP: 1

Makers 15 is a short documentary series about people in the middle of making it — founders, designers, and creators who chose conviction over comfort. In the first episode, we spend 15 minutes with Conway Liao, Taiwanese-American designer and founder of Hudson Wilder, in his studio and store in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Conway left the safety of big tech to build a quieter, more intentional world around everyday objects — glassware, ritual, and what he calls The Art of Casual Living. This episode is not about hype or success formulas. It’s about fear, taste, craft, and the discipline it takes to keep going when no one is watching. Topics we talk about: – Leaving Meta and giving up safety – Fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome – Building Hudson Wilder from scratch – Craft, constraints, and taste – How to stay focused in a noisy world – What “making it” means today 00:00 Intro 00:18 What are you making? 01:03 My name is Conway 01:23 I wanna go deeper into your personal story 02:51 Working 3 full-time jobs and opening Hudson Wilder 04:34 Time proportion management & First collection 05:33 What did you leave behind, when leaving Meta? 07:26 What keeps you going?
