Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like making, in many forms -- through music, woodworking, lasers, electronics, code, Lego, 3d printing, e-textiles, you name it. This website captures some of my career from interaction design, rapid prototyping & digital fabrication, open source hardware, software engineering, user research, and of course, AI.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.
Secret Message Sweatshirt (SMS)
The SMS in this sweatshirt does not stand for short message service, but for Secret Message Sweatshirt. The SMS sweatshirt combines thermochromic ink, conductive thread, coin-cell batteries, and a hidden switch to reveal a message of the wearer’s choosing at the flip of a switch.
Tools: Thermochromic ink, low-resistance conductive thread, conductive velcro, li-on coin cell batteries, switch.
