Collab
Objects for Soldering Workshop

Custom-designed circuit boards in collaboration with my dear friend, Andrew. Initially, we only intended to make a single design for a soldering workshop, but we had so much fun we did it again the following year.
The designs feature LEDs soldered behind a window of bare circuit board, diffusing the light to make it softly glow. In order to keep the circuits and art from getting in the way of each other, we designed both sides at once. That meant dodging circuits, tucking the battery somewhere inconspicuous, and leaving space for LED connections.
Circuit boards only come in a handful of colors and finishes, so each design had to work within a few set combinations; board color, silkscreen color, and metal finish.
As a bonus, both boards from 2026 turned out to be UV reactive and glow under black light
2025
Lantern A flickering LED glows through the board like candlelight. We made 100 and gave them away to friends. Blue board, white silkscreen, silver.
Trillium Made for a How to Solder workshop, where participants soldered their own PCB and took it home. Three RGB LEDs light each petal. Green board, white silkscreen, gold.
2026
Vibrant Resonance Gifted to volunteers who gave more than 100 hours. Two RGB LEDs Purple board, yellow silkscreen, gold.
Quartz Crystal Made for the 2026 soldering workshop. Two RGB LEDs, with moon phases in gold across the top. Black board, white silkscreen, gold.
