Project 1 Concept

Design Path

An interactive beaded bouquet that interprets each flower as a touch-sensitive input. When someone touches a flower petal or stem (while grounded), the Makey Makey or Arduino sends a signal into ProtoPie, where a digital response is triggered. My focus would be on creating an interactive object that evokes an emotional relationship between the user and technology. I'd like to explore how physical-digital interactions can feel both expressive and emotionally engaging, ultimately aligning with a generational openness to tech as a source of meaning and connection.
