Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.
Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.
My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.
In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.
In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!
A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.
I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ).

A simple color strip generator inspired by the most commonly seen Paris metro seats (even if other patterns and colors exist in the network). Their palette was designed by Nadine Cahen, according to her website. 1/3

Hi Mastodon. I'm a #contentdesign and #climatedesigner in UX consulting. This paper I wrote a few years ago on #Sustainability and the Role of #Marketing in a #Capitalist System #sdg12 generally represents the perspective you can expect from me:

If money were no object and/or I had balance in my life, I might spend more time with things like #textiledesign, #education, #bookarts, and learn woodworking and ceramics and adjacent things.
