Reed Switch Shadow Box

Wanting to create an interactive shadow box that could look different with different LED configurations, I came up with an idea for a shadow box triggered by one or two reed switches.

Carousel Book Light (Featuring Chibitronics)

Carousel Book Light

Wanting to figure out an easy way to add light to a handmade carousel book, I had the opportunity to do some prototyping during an extended power outage.  

This was my first prototype of the Carousel Book Light.

The results turned into my latest tutorial for Chibitronics, the Carousel Book Light (featuring Chibitronics LED stickers, of course).

My First Pop Up Book

I recently took an online course called "Pop Up Fundamentals:  Storytelling with Paper and Light" taught by Karen Friel!

This is my first pop up book, showcasing three of my favorite places in Munich!
