Bringing sewing and costume design into a new space, where art and science meet.

My favourite space is the intersection where art and science meet. I've been sewing and costuming for many years and lately I've enjoyed the emergence of wearable tech. It has expanded my "possibles" as I try to think beyond the flashy LED clothes and find other ways to use wearable tech. Of course, I also love the fine design details of period style clothing. Discovering steam punk was an ah-ha! moment as it opened up the door to using unusual things for embellishment. I would love to merge steam punk designs with robotics to create something truly unique.
