A night light that can be turned on with the squeeze of a pom-pom. The goal of this project is to design a battery powered LED light that uses a pom-pom for a switch. The pom-pom, made of conductive yarn, is mounted to an arduino that uses an infrared signal to turn on a light.

The objective of this project is to study and understand smart textiles, using conductive thread, conductive fabric and sewable LEDs.

This project is an ambient device which will open a chest when an item on the user's personal wishlist goes under a target price

This project explores the skills learned during Soft Fabrication Skills (99-352) and presents my skills investigation final project.

The goal of this project was to explore laser cutting techniques and create an aesthetically pleasing clock that also clearly indicates time. Every time, I was distracted from looking at a clock when it is with all the numbers on or no numbers on. Therefore, my intention to this design was to create a clock that informs time clearly by using simple forms.

The goal of this project was to explore the materials and methods of laser cutting to create a 3 dimensional form that articulated time. My original hope was to explore the concept and aesthetic of a laser cut light box by casting the shadow of the clock hands onto a piece of vellum. As the project approached I realized backlighting the clock hands was going to be a very difficult task. So I went to plan B: create a box that cleanly integrated the clock mechanism into laser cut layers.

My goal in this project was to design a clock that would fit exactly to a specific person's taste, along with mine. I designed and laser cut a clock in a flower shape with a modern design touch, to gift to someone.

A clock bringing the stars closer.

The goal of this project was to create a clock using laser cut wood to commemorate my little sister scoring her thousandth point in basketball.

The goal of this project was to laser cut a clock. I wanted my clock to be relatively easy to read and aesthetic in shape.

A cool mathematical object to hold my keys

I am trying to create a space where I can put my markers in an organized way on my studio table.

Making a writing utensil organizer to help keep my desk organized and add a decoration

Inventor and 3D Printing 99-359 The purpose of my project was to 3D Print a utensil holder with NVBOTS. I wanted to create an aesthetic and useful design that will replace my current utensil holder and hold wet and dry utensils- forks, spoons, knives, and chopsticks.

Hold your keys in a presentable, fun way ;)

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

designing a new home for my windowsill succulent

My housemate has trouble waking up in the morning. I have created a system which will soak his bed with a spray bottle if he doesn't get up.

I am designing for my friend, Anne. She could benefit from the IoT appliance because she always asks me in the morning what to wear. This appliance would help answer that question without ever having to ask somebody.

Can a piece of cookware be used to mobilize the kitchen as a place for reflection? And can we design an object with memory that is itself an object of memory?

PROPOSAL: Create a night light out of recorded sleep data. Typically, people cannot remember their sleep, so by recording it and keeping a memory of your sleep, then you can begin to reflect on how you sleep and what effects your sleep quality. INSPIRATION: http://www.lauriefrick.com/sleep-patterns/ GOALS & OUTCOMES: The goal is to create a symbolic night light that helps you go to sleep. The night light patterns are based on the data of previous sleep. What does mapping your sleep teach you? Does the night light help you sleep better? Does being aware of your sleep patterns help increase your sleep quality?
