Linda Plaude

Fashion Future visionary - Concepts - Research - Prototyping - Performances - Freelance for Tech Startups About the founder, Linda Plaude: I approach technology from the perspective of art. My background is in Fashion Design (Amsterdam Fashion Institute) and I strive for an aesthetic and meaningful integration of technology in into textiles. I am an adventurer and repeating what has already been done, I find absolutely boring. My passion lies in the field of light and interaction, but I am currently exploring different area’s as well, like touch and movement interactions. I never not do this alone. Together with a team of passionate co-adventurers who provide the skills of computer programming, sound design, electronics or whatever necessary for the specific project, I strive to create TOGETHER and I only by doing so, things and experiences can be created that we could never achieve alone. At my day job at Delft University of Technology, I am broadening my skill spectrum with techniques as silkscreen printing of with liquid electronics on textiles, computerized machine knitting with STOLL and I do a broad research in different types of conductive materials that can be used for textile integration.
