I brought a pair of white Nike sneakers for my brother. We wanted to add a signature touch and designed + painted some of the exterior of the sneakers using metallic acrylic paints.
As a Teacher's Assistant for Brown's introductory Design Engineering course, I mentored teams to find elegant solutions to complex problems. I have had the opportunity to give students hands-on training on machines for 3D printing, laser cutting, and wood and metal working and helped them brainstorm ideas for industrial solutions, enabling them to create presentations and pitches for potential investors.
I, along with a team of 2 other girls, developed the concept of IntelliSpeech, a language assist tool to help improve people’s public speaking skills by collecting data on their tone, enunciation, and pace of speech, amongst other things. Our current prototype was centered around glasses to be able to also read social cues.
