A postdoctoral researcher exploring e-textiles, textile fabrication, and hybrid crafts.
Research
I use participatory design to create easy-to-use toolkits for individuals to build prototypes and have a say in the direction of their technologies. In my research I am developing toolkits for prototyping and crafting e-textiles.
