The Circuit Suit

Post

It is was in designing this suit that my eyes were opened to the how Hollywood costume design could be applied to the space industry to more efficiently produce space suits. This was an incredible complex and fiddly project to produce what appeared to be a printed circuited board on a wetsuits, but we made it happen!

<h3>Background</h3><p>I was contacted by Legacy Effects to develop the Circuit Suit. &nbsp;Within two weeks we had the process developed and approved by Legacy Effects and Guillermo del Toro to move into building out the full suit.&nbsp;</p><p>This process was an incredible research and design project that merged science and fashion. &nbsp;I soon realized the capabilities of the Hollywood Industry. &nbsp;</p><p>I quickly recognized the technology that Hollywood can bring to the Space Industry, as well as my in-depth tech knowledge that allowed for rapid prototyping unmatched by Hollywood. &nbsp;Lower costs, faster production… the key fundamentals to what is now, 4SPACE.&nbsp;</p>
