Collaborations
I have collaborated with a variety of faculty members since arriving at Cornell. These included grant applications and research assistance. Additionally, I have an ongoing collaboration with our 2021 Designer in Residence, Mimi Prober.
Mimi Prober Collaboration
For Mimi Prober, I created a seamless jacquard design, translating this antique coverlet into something that could be machine knitted.
Mimi Prober Collaboration
Our Shima Seiki Knitting the tubular jacquard design as yardage.
Mimi Prober Collaboration
Mimi and I chose cruelty free merino wool for this fabric. It is a goal to source locally produced yarn.
Mimi Prober Collaboration
Mimi will use this yardage to create a sample reversible coat for orders.
BARDA Mask Innovation Challenge
Professor Uyar and I proposed a no waste, washable machine knitted mask with a biodegradable nano fiber insert for the BARDA Mask challenge in the Spring of 2021. The proposal was not chosen.

Here is a page from our proposal.
Atkinson Center Grant Proposal
Professor Hinestroza and I applied for an Atkinson Center grant in the Fall of 2020.
Atkinson Center Grant Proposal
Professor Hinestroza and I proposed the use of machine knitting technology to create a programming code that would make custom adjustments to facemasks for a better fit.
Atkinson Grant Proposal
Here is the initial mask programming I designed. Our proposal was not funded.
The Center for Craft Materials Based Research Grant
The Center for Craft's Materials Based Research Grant is a grant that funds collaborations between someone in STEM and a craft artist. Professor Cindy Kao and I received this grant in March of 2020 for our collaboration entitled "Exploring Opportunities for Knitting a Second Skin"
