Arts and Crafts

Outside of my academic work, I enjoy finding crafty projects to work on, with a focus on sustainability where I can. Below are a few of my recent projects that I am proud of.

Crochet

I’m definitely still a beginner, but I’m really enjoying making wearables (especially to help hide my e-bike helmet hair).

• Bandana using yarn from local reuse craft store (featuring a surprise color gradient!)
• Granny square headband

Embroidery

My goal is to use embroidery and needlework to upcycle and repair old clothing.

• Charli XCX-inspired baby clothes
• Boston MBTA-inspired baby clothes
• Hole repair on sweater

Chess Set

I wanted to upcycle some of the tile samples my parents’ business often throws away, so I combined them with some medium density fiber board and created a chess board. I then crafted each of the pieces out of clay.
