Designer, Engineer & Educator
I am a designer, engineer, and educator exploring new ways of combining electronics with art and textiles.
My work explores integrations of electronics, computing, art, craft, and design. I've done foundational work in paper and fabric-based electronics, including inventing the LilyPad Arduino, a construction kit for sew-able electronics. All of my work centers around the goal of making technology more accessible and fun.
Here's the first step for everyone
Don't be intimidated by technology. Anyone can enter this field. There are so many opportunities to apply your skills and interests in unique ways.
"There is no way I could ever combine art and science, I have to choose one. "
