Shy Creature: A stuffed animal that reacts and shows its face when you touch it

Instant curls using muscle wire and a hairdryer.

My project is meant to be a car seat that conforms itself to the the occupant for performance applications

My project prototypes very simple machine knit buttons that can potentially be used for prototyping

We've all been here! Picture yourself enjoying a night out at a bar with your friends. Drinks in hand, and on the way to the dance floor, you feel someone grab your butt. Shocked, you turn around, but the culprit has already vanished in the crowd. You don't want to make a scene, but a part of your feels slightly violated. Imagine a world where butt grabbers were taught a little lesson. With the "Do-Not-Grab" Butt Zapper, they may think twice before reaching again.

Inspired by the movement of the muscle wire, I thought about women eating and drinking in public while wearing the niqab. They usually use one hand to lift the niqab away from their face just enough to expose their mouth for the food but not so much where anyone else can see their face. What if you could embed muscle wire into the niqab and have it lift away from the woman's face so that she can have both hands to use to eat and drink?

Quillted Sweater: A sweatshirt that visualizes your frustration with inflatable quills across the back

Designing a piece of clothing which gives the wearer apparent extra-sensory abilities.

These images display samples from my binder, and they also include my final project.

This dress combines electronics and textiles to produce a dynamic dress mimicing the movement of a jellyfish. There are also pictures of my sample book from E-Textiles.

The goal of this project is to first explore how elastic inflatables can be integrated into modular forms that can shape there inflation, and secondly explore how these modular forms can be integrated into garments in a cohesive way.

This is the final project for the E-textiles micro course. It includes pictures of my sample book and a proposal for a soft pressure mat.

Document the samples created and highlight a skills investigation

The goal of my project is to create an interactive storybook for kids using a Gemma microcontroller and LEDs on fabric. The reader will be able to switch the lights on and off, and the book will tell a story with fabric illustrations and lights.

What is your social feed? Are you eating too much? This chipmunk embodies your social media diet.

I want to create an-orb like hanging lamp that imitates the center of a flower with small petals.

Add tactile, interactive elements to a CMU booth

Below are some samples for e-textiles, my project proposal, and my reflection.

My project proposal is to create a ‘high-five’ mitten set where after giving anyone a high five, the mitten would light up. that could encourage physical interaction between people.

This is an example of what a final project proposal could look like for E-Textiles
