I’m thrilled to welcome @branislav to the Leadership Team as Asmbly’s Textiles Lead 
!
If you’ve been around the space or hung out on the forums, you probably already know Branislav. According to him, I should just leave this introduction to “it’s that guy, you know that guy” which is both a reflection of how long he’s been around and how modest he is. Branislav is always making something really cool at Asmbly, often out of leather and sometimes wonderfully obscure (see his YouTube channel below for fun retro projects!). If somehow you don’t know him yet, his member ID is only two digits and he’s been a continuous member since creating his account, so that tells you just how deep his roots here go. 
Branislav has done some truly incredible projects over the years and he played an instrumental role in expanding Textiles to include leatherworking by working alongside our first Textiles Lead, @stepho to develop the proposal for it. Beyond his craft, what really stands out is how eager he is to share knowledge, spark ideas, and help others bring their own projects to life. He brings a calm excitement and admirable persistence to his work to turn even the wildest ideas into finished projects. Check out some of the cool stuff he’s made below —
- 2025 project expo: a running thread
- Show & Tell Project Photos - #7 by Branislav
- Turned segmented vase (finished!)
We’re so excited to have him shaping the future of the textiles area (and beyond). Next time you see him in the space, be sure to say hi, ask about what he’s working on, or swap stories about your latest projects!
Thank you for your leadership Branislav!
