For my NeoPangea internship project, I sought to combine my passion for sewing with the creation of an interactive digital experience. The result was a Quilted QR Code and a complementary app designed in Figma. The core concept was to create a working QR code out of upcycled fabric, which would lead to a unique digital experience, tying together sustainability and creativity. 

The quilt was made using two pairs of jeans, which were cut into 1” squares and painstakingly sewn together to form a 29x29 block. This intricate process involved piecing together 841 individual blocks, all sewn by hand. Fun fact: I had no idea if the QR code would scan until all 841 blocks were completely sewn together—luckily, it worked! Once complete, the quilted piece was transformed into a wearable tote bag, showcasing the upcycled denim while allowing the QR code to remain functional. The only new material used was thread, making this project an example of sustainable design. 

Additionally, I designed a mobile app in Figma to complement the quilt. The app design process began with sketching wireframes and proceeded to create a cohesive user interface with custom illustrations and a streamlined logomark. The experience was brought to life through interactive prototyping, allowing for realistic screen transitions and user interactions.
