I'm Lynn, the (benevolent) mastermind behind Constitutionally Modern DIY.  I make modern, funky craft/DIY creations that are affordable and accomplishable.  Any average Jane/Joe can make these things, which are particularly well-suited towards urbanites lacking power tools or even a kitchen table. I'm an Urban Planner by training, and a maker of random items by vocational calling.  I do my projects in my apartment in Brooklyn, or on the stoop or roof.  My eclectic sense of style derives from constantly coming up with budget solutions to design quandaries or gift giving.  I like traveling, hiking, biking, Bonnie Prince Billy, jackfruit, pierogies, Urban Economics class with Ingrid Ellen, Julianne Moore, Jon Stewart, funky modern retro things, and lots of other stuff.  I especially love when someone else's genius creation sparks a brilliant idea that I can make all my own (and on my own).  Looking at other people's ideas is awesome fodder for my noggin, so why shouldn't I share a decent idea that someone else can make perfect?
