I'm Francis the county and the founder France with Artisteer
I'm a designer and we're here in my studio in Brooklyn I started as an
architect
on I didn't start as a fashion designer and I still don't really call myself a
fashion designer the works
very interdisciplinary I started working with 3d printing back in 2007
and I did a bicycle rack for the New York City apartment transportation
was part of an initiative to encourage cycling in the city and then gradually
started migrating to product design
became worse than the bodies started doing wearable pieces

they were using any computer-driven design methodologies so we started
running on educational programs
and the first one was called new skins and that was when we did the first

on the make about things called the praline dress we were working with the
factual filament all my work as very complex geometry

there's still a materiality
and I think it's materially that designers need to learn
and become acquainted with there's a yeah I was calling code language there's
a new
is a new kind a formal language in any language in manufacturing and
and every school has women's this has far less less than any other two other
areas
but this still image thing is there's a there's a tendency towards a certain
kinda
formal language that I think bristol exploring and discovering
