Just for Fun

In between, I’ve done a variety of small projects to try new things and test my skills.

3D Printing

One of my hobbies is 3D printing. I first downloaded prints online to learn how the printer worked, and then tried to build my own. Although I wasn’t able to build my own 3D printer, I did teach myself modeling in Fusion 360 and used these skills both in my Capstone project, and to make these fun elephant pen and phone holders. I consider hardware to be my Design Superpower- I love building things people can feel and play with. I’d like to continue working on my prototyping skills by doing more 3D modeling and printing.

Podcasting

For Info 402: Race, Gender, Ethics and Technology, my team researched and recorded a podcast looking at the commodification of women in technology. My group was amazing and I had a lot of fun doing the sound editing; I taught myself how to use Audacity and found the process of editing to be super interesting. Maybe someday soon I’ll record/edit more!

Dancing

I love to swing and salsa dance. It’s taught me a lot of movement, rhythm, form, and provided me with a fun way to stay active and meet new people. I also have made my own costumes for various themed dances. On the left is a picture of my alter-ego: PUNDER WOMAN!
