CLOTHING BRAND#

My final project idea is to use this opportunity to begin a clothing brand. The idea behind the brand is to combine fashion and technology into one. I grew up on streetwear culture and studied engineering in university. Loving both worlds I wanted to find a way to combine both into one project through creating smart garments that are both functional and aesthetical appealing.

Currently my idea is to hopefully incorporate the different techniques and technologies learned in the Fabricademy into one collection.

HEATED GARMENT V2#

In July 2018 I completed the first iteration of my smart heated vest. The vest has the capability to read the wearers body temperature and adjust heating elements to provide the optimal level of heat and comfort for the user. The first prototype of the vest went came out really well but there are a few updates that I see the idea can improve from. I want to continue researching and prototyping heating elements and material for the optimal heating experience. At this point I think the design aspect of the vest is perfect so the majority of my final project will be improving the electronic portion of the garment.
