Product Design
I create objects including products, gadgets, wearables, and furniture. I learn how things work by taking them apart. I designed and built a wearable camera that was sold at the Whitney Museum. I’ve been nominated for a Visual Design Bessie Award for my responsive costume called the Pexel Shirt for the Brooklyn Ballet. Both had viral moments.
NOT-A-CAMERA
I made a functional camera necklace by taking apart a dashcam I found on Amazon that was shaped like car keys. I rewired the pcb components to fit my design and achieve optimum flatness. The parts were tiny and a microscope was necessary to solder the new wires.
I used Illustrator to design a 2D SLR shaped case. The mini SD is accessible on the side. It's only ¼ thick. The back of the camera has instructions.
I laser cut and etched the design onto wood, leather, and mirror plexi. After making a box and paper instructions I gave it to friends to take photos/videos and put together a tumblr of their footage so folks could get a sense of the pixelvision-like quality. notacamera.tumblr.com/
I created a press kit and sent it to design sites. It got picked up in over 45 sites in 11 languages including features on The Creator’s Project, Dezeen, PetaPixel, Not Cot, Hack-A-Day, and Slasher Gear.
Because I got some steam with the press I had to make more. I started working with the factory in Shenzen who produces the board so I could get them made with my new wiring, but the quantity they required for the order was out of my budget. I ended up selling them in small batches at the Whitney Museum store. The mirror version is called The Seflie.
