Hi, I’m Angela and I’m a maker.

I’m interested in digital arts, wearable and physical computing, crafts and how all these things can combine. I’ve decided to start compiling my favorite links/research and document some experiments and prototypes to share every weekend here at Soft Circuit Saturdays.

I first discovered e-textiles, craft technology, and wearable computing during my time at Bennington College, while exploring physical computing. My senior year I spent 2 months doing an independent Field Work Term researching, collecting samples, and trying out soft circuit techniques. This research led to a project called REACTIVEfashion, a collaboration with Rebecca Grabman that demonstrated our experiments in the form of a playful (and electrified) costume showcase.

Right now I am continuing my explorations in the field and constantly trying new things. I present a lot of my prototypes in person at a monthly gathering called NH Media Makers and I am working on organizing a DIY/Maker crafting group in my area. If you live in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, or Southern Maine and work with these forms or are interested in collaborating I would love to hear from you.
