This is what Mikaela has to say about her work:

I am an artist and designer with a bachelor’s degree in Visual Art from Brown University and an associate’s degree in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology.  As a girl from the mountains who migrated to the city, I am fascinated by the place where urban and rural, technological and natural, intersect.  Taking inspiration from nature and future, my work fuses innovative materials and technologies with classic design techniques to create unique garments for extraordinary environments.

The most extraordinary environment I’ve experienced is the Playa, and I design many of my garments with the Playa in mind.

Thanks for sharing your amazing designs Mikaela, we look forward to seeing more.

Luminescent Grand Akshay Sawhney

We have highlighted the Luminescent Grand on our blog before because it is so amazing. As you can see from the photo above, it was a BIG hit at Maker Faire, all the pianists wanted to give it a try.  So we thought you might also like to see it’s creator, William Jerome (Coda) playing it for the crowd.

We were thrilled when we recently found a video that explains a bit of the conceptualization behind the programming, and we knew you would want to see that too.
