Hi alison, I’m Maria Marques 43 from Barcelona. Running my own business for 22 years and dedicated to help women to get dressed and felling free and well as the same time. I heart about you and I would really like to have the oportunity to meet you.
Hi there Alison,
I’m a software designer / artist that is getting into electronic fashion design and music visualization.
I would like to connect with other people in the space. We are both local to San Francisco so I hope that our paths will cross in the future.
If you were to put me on a mailing list or other notification scheme for some sort of group meetup I would be in your debt.
Please check out my video – It’s a gear heart that responds to intimate proximities through a location sensor. It also detect sound in the voice volume so that the users face lights up when they talk.
I hope you like it 🙂
