WEARABLE TECH CONSTRUCTION
I specialize in soft goods design for wearable technology, with experience developing sensor-integrated garments, exosuits, and functional prototypes for a range of applications. My work includes designing a head-cap for monitoring brain activity during heart surgery, prototyping military exosuits to enhance soldier performance, and an ankle exoskeleton for Achilles Tendon Injuries. By combining technical expertise with user-centered design, I ensure that wearable tech solutions are both innovative and comfortable.
