Stitches &amp; Steps: Stories of Pilgrimage explores the phenomenon of pilgrimage, and how it shapes human lives. By interacting with different textile elements in the art installation, users discover the journeys and reflections of pilgrimages taken by people from around the world. Evoking these true stories through interconnected experiences in sound, touch and sight reveals universal themes of vulnerability and reconciliation, and in sharing them they inspire and encourage others in their own life paths.This installation is called "Stitches &amp; Steps" because much like the painstaking persistence required to accomplish pilgrimage, creating this multi-medium, sensory-driven story was a walk of devotion and self-discovery. The technology and coding aspects of this design include some not commonly used components such as a Bare Conductive Board with integrated microSD card reader and a male-to-male aux cord. The breakout board is coded to read mp3 files through Arduino, which plays through a bluetooth speaker when touch-capacitive sensors are triggered along a circuit of conductive paint and threads.Combining traditional textile forms such as crocheting, dying, paper and embroidery into a sensitive touch-capacitive interface, users trigger recorded narratives by interacting with the material elements of the installation. The stories of Stitches &amp; Steps are freely expressed; no particular directives given to participants to describe their pilgrimages. What results is a flux of carefully crafted accounts and loosely-structured flows of consciousness. Yet each voice speaks to core truths much greater than any one individual experience. Grief. Longing. Confusion. Loss. Pain. Struggle. Recovery. Healing.

Our project is the design and construction of a minimalist rooftop tent ideal for smaller cars. Rooftop tents are often bulky, large and have poor aerodynamics, making the majority of rooftop tents poorly suited for use on smaller cars. We wanted to solve that problem.The rooftop tent is constructed with an aluminum base and shell with fabric doors. The interior features a wooden platform with a double foam mattress. Adventurers can easily install the device on their smaller cars and venture out into nature with the comfort of a dry, comfortable shelter.

For my capstone project, I created an interactive sculpture meant to help people connect with renewable energy on a human level. Built around a 9W solar panel, the sculpture implements a Sparkfun Sunny Buddy charger to harness solar energy and store it in a battery. When a user interacts with any metal element along the arm, the capacitive touch triggers the LED circuit via an Arduino Uno microprocessor. The sculpture itself is built mostly from recycled plastic bottles, aluminum wire and cotton. Forming the structural skeleton of the piece, the wiring also serves as the conductive medium. Inside the shell of repurposed plastic, LED strips, cotton wadding and electronics are housed and mounted to a solar panel. Suspended by strong suction hooks attached to a window pane, the solar cells face outwards to collect sustainable energy... ultimately powering the user experience itself.

Connect with Renewable Energy is a solar energy-based, interactive sculpture that gets people in touch with big ideas in renewable energy.

Regenerating Colorful Colorado is an interactive data visualization and data art piece. It focuses on regenerative agriculture practices taking place in Colorado by displaying data from the 2017 Census of Agriculture. Viewers are first introduced to regenerative agriculture and then lead to explore a visualization of Colorado that adds information as you scroll. The color of Colorado counties represents the percentage of farms using cover cropping, the texture represents the percentage of farms using no-till practices. Overlaid on each county is a flower whose number of petals represents carbon sequestration and whose color shows the percentage of farms using no fertilizers. Finally, the viewer can click on a county to see farms in that area using these practices and how they can get involved.

Regenerating Colorful Colorado is an interactive data visualization and art piece that explores the importance of regenerative agricultural practices here in Colorado as a climate solution and inspires residents to take action.

Installing the free 4th Wall Chrome Extension, anytime a user streams from Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, they accrue points to use for a charitable donation. 1 minute of streaming = 1 point. Collecting 250 points = 1 Donation worth $8-$10. Donation receipts are shared every quarter, so users can see how their charitable streaming makes a difference. 4th Wall never collects or sells personal information; rather, it creates anonymous Streaming TV ratings based on how shows perform with different demographics. Independent Creators, start-ups and new brands who can't afford ratings services can get a low-cost subscription through 4th Wall, creating opportunities to support Creators as well as our charities. 4th Wall lets users conveniently and anonymously share the title of what show they are watching, the duration of their streaming and their viewing region. That information gets integrated into the rest of the community data of 4th Wall streamers, so no personal data can be linked back to an individual user. All it takes is a quick download, a charity selection and about 4 hours of streaming before viewers can start contributing real money to real causes.

4thWall.app is a free Chrome Extension that turns minutes spent streaming into charitable donations.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, it can be daunting to navigate new normals, changing restrictions, and unexpected changes. With more people working or learning virtually from their homes, the stresses of professional life are encroaching on previously separated private spaces. This can often lead to decreased motivation and productivity, mental health distress, as well as negatively affecting off-work time.Three special devices react to user input and dispel negativity, depression and anxiety. In combination, they integrate breathing exercises, plant therapy and light therapy to support circadian rhythm health, nervous system regulation and mood to improve living-working conditions in peoples' homes.The breathing interaction is inspired by a water drop and the soothing repetitive nature of moving water. When the user touches the globe, a soft blue light begins to glow and fade in time with a guided deep breathing exercise.The plant interaction brings nature into the space. It is more than just a regular house plant though. Lights along the front edge of the pot fade from green to yellow to red to show the decrease in soil moisture and indicate when the plant needs to be watered. Also, when the user touches the center plant, lights on either side of it will glow in response to the touch. This can help the user to feel more connected to nature.The light interaction tracks the time of day. With so much time spent indoors, it can be easy to lose track of the time. This lamp glows green through the outer leaf cut out shade during the day and blue through the inner star cut out shade at night. During sunrise and sunset, the lamp will gradually fade between the two colors for 20 minutes. This helps users connect to their natural circadian rhythm by signaling the rising and setting of the sun.

Oasis is a set of three physical interactions inspired by nature, built to help users relax and escape the stress of everyday life.

The goal of this project was to create a wearable device that includes a living component. We started with sketches of many different ideas and converged on the idea of a mask that holds a living organism.Our mask body is created with algynyl, canvas, a leather strap and a Petri dish interface made of PLA and a stock Petri dish. The user fills the Petri dish with bioluminescent dinoflagellates--aquatic micro-organisms that glow when agitated--and seals the lid. Once the lid is snapped into the mask and the mask is put on, vibrations from speech cause the algae to bioluminesce. The user is challenged to consider how their speech while wearing the mask disturbs the organism, creating awareness of the subtle ways we impact the living world around us.

The creative process is a result of who you are as a person —&nbsp; unique to you and your experiences. “Genesis” is an art installation featuring interaction with rotating laser light to create abstract shapes representative of creative thinking and ideation.

“Genesis” represents our interpretation of the creative thinking process — central to interdisciplinary maker communities like ATLAS, where creative thinking is fueled by personal experience and a desire to solve problems.The combination &amp; reflection of laser beams in our installation symbolizes streams of thought, emotions, and passions that contribute towards ideation. The rotation of these beams symbolizes the different angles/perspectives that are considered during problem solving. Through multiple physical builds, we created an art installation that allows users to interact with laser beams and refract them into unique patterns of light. We explored the visual effects of laser refractions on a variety of materials, and investigated different configurations of reflective components while maintaining user safety.[Materials]4 Laser Pointers (Class II) Mylar/Reflective Foil Acrylic Sheets (¼”, ⅛”) Wood &amp; PLA Partial Threaded Hex Bolt &amp; Nuts Paracord &amp; Leather Cord Suction Cups Acrylic Paint

Rally is a social app that flips the script on social media, encouraging face-to-face interaction and the making of memories rather than isolation and app addiction. Rally aids people in creating and sharing a plan easily, meeting up, staying together, and finding friends on a night out.

Rally utilizes location sharing upon user approval. It acknowledges and caters to two types of users: the planner and the non-planner. This app is catering to a dual market within its design, however the study has focused heavily on the planner.&nbsp;Rally is intended to provide a clear way to create and view a concrete plan (providing all information in one place), incentivize non-planners to 'RSVP' to a plan, and eliminate difficulties that come with trying to get ahold of someone who is out and about.&nbsp;Rally offers many features to improve your night out as well as planning it. You can create both a planned event or a quick share. Your home page is a feed consisting of all of your friends live quick shares. You can accept or decline invites to events within your notifications, and see upcoming events in the upcoming tab. Through your profile you can see your friend count, planned events count, and attended events count. Only when you are mutual friends with a user can you add them to events, share quick shares with them, and view their complete profile.&nbsp;Rally was created using Figma and Adobe Illustrator and followed a typical UX iterative process.&nbsp;

For beginner music producers who struggle with starting in music production, EZBeats brings ease to entering the realm. 
With EZBeats you can create beats with existing audio in the library or you own and with a simple interface you can also edit to your heart's content.

My mission&nbsp;is to expose beginning music producers to the music editing environment. There’s a timeline with how tracks are added and audio that you can play around with.&nbsp;Currently, the user can play around with the online midi board and familiarize themselves with some 808 sounds. They can swap the sounds on the midi board with sounds from the selection box. The timeline box serves as a visual placeholder that can scrub the intervals and visualizes the tape head when the 'play' button is pressed.&nbsp;The goal moving forward is to get the timeline to interact with the user pressing buttons on the midi board and even further, being able to create a track and export it.&nbsp;This web-based application was made using React.js, Github pages, and the Planby React Component.&nbsp;

As an creative, I struggle with debilitating perfectionism that inhibits my creative process out of fear the result won’t be perfect. “A Parting Gift to My Perfect Self” is a stop-motion animation that documents my escape from the desire to be perfect and inspires fearless creation.

<title></title>
“A Parting Gift to My Perfect Self” is a stop-motion animation that documents my escape from the chains of perfectionism that hold me back from creating art fearlessly.&nbsp;This story is best portrayed through a stop-motion, because this medium itself is inherently imperfect. While the process of creating this film was tedious, it challenged me to let go from my preconceived notion of a “perfect” outcome and embrace the film as it came together over the semester.&nbsp;The content of the film details this destruction of “perfection” and replaces it with my experiences as an artist from my childhood until now. The film looks at creation through the lens of childhood and reminds that audience that the core purpose of making art is to have fun.&nbsp;After completing this project, my entire mindset on what defines “good art” is changed. I hope the audience is able to feel my growth through the film and find the courage to start making their own art, not matter the outcome.

Abstract Vision is a&nbsp;website that transforms audio data into generative art. One a user is on our site, they can choose their favorite song and&nbsp;see their personalized generative artwork come to life. The one-of-a-kind&nbsp;artwork that's generated will be available on a limited run of shirts.

Once a user goes to our website, they will be able to search for their favorite song. After searching a song, generative artwork will start creating in real time. Once it's complete, a user can purchase their unique piece on a limited run of shirts.
We launched the site through Webflow and have tested our generative artwork extensively through p5.js. Once we we're satisfied with the generative artwork, we moved the code locally to Webflow so that it would function on the website, without the need for any embeds. It was quite a challenge to get a music API working, but we we're able to do so through the Deezer API. It allows a user to search for any song/artist/etc. and even allows for misspellings. After they search a song, we're able to pull the top result as a 30 second preview.
For the product logistic side of things, we'll be using the Printful API along with Stripe to seamlessly&nbsp;allow a user to order their uniquely&nbsp;generated artwork on a shirt.
There's a lot of backend work to simplify the whole process for the user and we're so excited for people to generate personalized pieces!

Song Pong is an interactive exhibit that allows people to play music through the familiar games of skee ball and cup pong, with no musical experience necessary. Fabricated with Biofoam from the Living Matter Lab, coded in Arduino and MaxMSP. Each cup turns a musical loop on and off when a ball passes, showing how different parts of a song work together.

Song Pong uses familiar game mechanics from Cup Pong and Skee Ball to make a musical interface. When the user shoots a ball through a cup, part of a song begins to play and the ball rolls down the return ramp to be thrown again. Each cup plays a unique piece, this may be the bass, guitar, drums, or melody of the chosen song. The interaction allows users with no musical experience to play music through a familiar interaction, rather than learning complicated finger patterns or breathing techniques. There are multiple well-known songs, from the BeeGees to Jason Derulo, that have been transposed to electronic instruments running on a loop. Users can play around with different instruments playing and not playing to see what they can do with just a couple of instruments. The actual game was fabricated with wood and BioFoam, a recipe courtesy of the Living Matter Lab at CU Boulder. Using gelatin, glycerin, water, dish soap, and food coloring we were able to create a world of colorful whimsy. All of the BioFoam is biodegradable and reuseable just had how water and agitation.&nbsp;

Mission Nula is a fun and educational board game that teaches young people about major factors affecting climate change and practices for positive change!

Mission Nula is a fun and educational board game that teaches young people about major factors affecting climate change and practices for positive change.&nbsp;The player's mission is to make their way around the board to collect all the climate icons and stop the impacts of climate change.&nbsp;Every player starts the game at their designated ‘Start’ space. 
All players start the game with 10 time tokens. Each token represents 1 year of time you have before the effects of climate change become irreversible (and it’s game over).&nbsp;Players then take turns rolling both the water &amp; fire dice as well as the numbered dice to make their way to all of the checkpoints in sequential order.&nbsp;Rolling a water or a fire symbol on the dice can grant players benefits or disadvantages, like gaining or losing time tokens. This can make the difference between winning the game or losing it all.
