About me#

Hi! My name is Stephanie Zopf. I am an engineer with research experience in textiles, materials science and electronics. Currently, I am Ambassador for the Boston Chapter of Women of Wearables. I am also a certified Pilates instructor, as I love helping others achieve mind/body connection to help them move better.

I've lived in the USA all my life - New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and California. I'm classically trained as a Chemical Engineer (BS at Columbia University; MS at Tufts University), and have always infused art and design in my approach to understanding the world.

Goals

I have many, but only two for this program :)

• One would be to design and make a wearable that can help others in getting more feedback in how they move their bodies.
• Another would be to research and design a textile component that exploits the properties of a material in an unconventional way.
