1ST Place Design at FD23: Build a Better Market Stall Competition, 1st Place
Continuing to expand on my design and fabrication skills, I recently had the opportunity to participate and win 1st place in FD23: Build a Better Market Stall as part of a two-person team. Organized by Better Block, this competition brought together six teams, each tasked with the challenge of creating a digitally fabricated market stall using CNC technology for a vendor who’s older than 50. Choosing to engage in this competition was a deliberate effort to broaden my skills in inclusive small-scale fabrications aimed at fostering community connections.
