Tenaya Conklin
From Berkeley California, Tenaya is a rock climber, maker, teacher, farmer, actress and newly Mrs. Conklin. When she is not making LED wiener dogs and wedding dresses, she prefers to be sipping cappuccino on the way to a ferrata in Italy.
Tenaya is going Rogue, teaching maker skills in your school, at your library, and at your party! Check out her LED wedding dress, Tenaya can do the same to your special garment too. Let's create wearable tech that feels great and shines brightly!
What inspired you to make this project?:
I was inspired to make a LED wedding dress because I found my true partner to marry. He loves me for the way I am, covered in LEDs, and he lights up my life. I love sewing with electronics because it combines an old maker skill with brand new technology. I also create #Arduweenie, a LED wiener dog, because wiener dogs are the best and my very own Woodchuck inspired me to bring wiener dogs to the maker world.
