from concept to working textile · feasibility · prototyping · technical consulting · troubleshooting

Smart textile products usually fail in the same place: the gap between a promising idea and something that actually holds up: where materials, electronics, and manufacturing constraints all have to agree with each other.

Taking your smart or e-textile concept from early idea to working prototype — testing what’s feasible, choosing materials and integration methods, and solving problems for teams already underway.

• Feasibility studies and concept validation
• Prototyping, materials selection, and integration support
• Independent technical consulting for R&D and product teams
• Troubleshooting for projects already in progress

Partnerships ·
Strategic Development

matchmaking · consortium building · proposal writing · strategic research

Connecting people who need each other but haven’t found each other yet — textile manufacturers, electronics specialists, and research institutions — around shared projects and applications.

Directly working with SMEs on proposal writing and research that feeds their next strategic move.

• Connecting companies with university and research partners
• Building consortiums for joint innovation projects and funding applications
• Proposal writing support for SMEs seeking funding or new partnerships
• Research reports — spanning academia and industry — to inform strategic decisions

Track 1: Foundations for the Crossover

Most smart textile projects stall in the same place: an electronics team that doesn’t know textiles, or a textile team that doesn’t know electronics. That gap is usually the real bottleneck. This track is built for whichever side you’re standing on.

For engineers, product designers, and companies entering wearables and smart textiles with no to little textile or electronics background.

Track 2: Smart & Functional Textiles

My core research area, in hands-on form where we go into specifics

For teams and individuals ready to move from traditional textiles into smart, functional, or electronic textile applications.

Track 3: Sector Opportunities

Shorter strategic sessions — talks, keynotes, or seminars for smart textile the landscape: sustainability and circularity, wearable tech, new manufacturing models.

For leadership teams, conferences, and academic audiences.
