José Maldonado is the President & Creative Director for allofjose, a fiber artist, group fitness instructor, and community organizer in Holyoke, MA. Picking up his first crochet hook at the age of 11 but being told for so long that “men don’t do that,” he now hopes to instill a different message in everyone, “there are no rules, just be you”. From crochet to leading a group fitness class, he inspires everyone to move through the world how it feels right to them.
