Meet Will Crawford

Will Crawford is the founder and lead instructor of MAZE Institute. His background spans workforce development, higher education, affordable housing and construction, mediation, and technology entrepreneurship.

His work focuses on translating emerging technologies into practical tools that professionals can use in real-world environments—not just teaching AI theory.
