It’s like a road trip, but with sketchbooks. Finally! I enrolled into The Sketchbook Project as part of my design process for my MA project. I found it motivating to have a blank page, a theme and a deadline. I tried to fill in the sketchbook with ideas/concepts/visual material about emergence, reality, technology and design.…

Exploring Tactility In the week that I experimented with the laser-cutter at school, I decided to make something for my good friend and old flatmate Pato, who got married a month ago. Being unable to attend the ceremony back in Mexico, I chose to do something that they could touch and smell and that represented…

Ta-da! Here are the results of the laser-cut messing around week. I found it extremely liberating to something with my hands, and feel it at the end of the process. I tried out different types of wood (letterpress!!), paper, cardboard, and acrylic. Loving the crisp edges of the acrylic, and I used some of my…
