KaizenStinger Project Timeline
This project helped me learn how to develop my fabric manipulation skills as well as making a scale model of shoe out of foam core. Even though the pandemic ended up closing my school’s shop, I didn’t want that to hinder what I could do as a result of what I envisioned. Already having most of the materials that are necessary for this project (like a dremel) gave me a slight advantage for my final deliverable.
