From Cook's Computer Service to MixedMakerShop
Our story
From Cook's Computer Service to MixedMakerShop
Before MixedMakerShop, I ran Cook's Computer Service and helped people around the Hot Springs area with in-home computer repair, setup, troubleshooting, upgrades, Wi-Fi issues, and everyday tech problems from 2000 to 2014.
In 2014, multiple sclerosis forced me to step back for a season. It took me down for a while, but it did not take away the builder in me. Over time, I rebuilt, learned new tools, and kept finding ways to solve real problems with technology.
Now I'm coming back through MixedMakerShop with a bigger toolbox.
Today, MixedMakerShop brings together in-home computer repair, remote tech support, web design, AI tools, local business marketing help, 3D printing, and custom digital solutions under one roof.
I still offer in-home computer repair and tech help in Hot Springs, Benton, Hot Springs Village, Lake Hamilton, Fountain Lake, and nearby areas. If you're farther away, some services may be available remotely depending on the issue.
Whether you need a slow computer fixed, a better website, help understanding AI, or a custom solution for your home or business, you're working with someone who has been solving local technology problems since 2000.
