Here is my first attempt, to simply figure out how to put them in order. I had a bad alligator clip, but found the bad one and continued.
Here is my second attempt. I was happy to figure out setting up the second LED pretty fast by taking a look at the tutorials. I messed around with the colors, but had trouble getting it to change speeds or intervals. Fun trying to figure out how to read this.
I call these cardboard party favors “PLATS”. They provide a platform for fun, memory, and connection. After researching party favors, I focused on the question “Why do we give party favors?”
Here is my process:
I began with exploring food experiences that could fit the multiple contexts that party favor are used in. What I found interesting was the act of sharing, and connection in the situations among the participants. I feel that we can take away more from the experience than a simple party favor. I sought to explore the connections between the quest, and host that could activate the space shared.
“PLATS” are easy to make. All you need is cardboard and some colorful string. You can work with different shapes to change it up. You can make as many to include all your party or select groups. A easy fun way to create an experience that they can take away and share.

I thought about the qualities and situations that are characteristics of the “party favor these are my inspirations. These references
allowed me to deviate and find a platform to create my artifact.
This is my full name it has added so much to my understanding of my heritage and where those last names come from. I’m originally born in Toluca, Est. de Mexico, Mexico. I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and have been in NYC for the past 2 years.
Over the past few years I have focused in a various fields that include sculpture, furniture, drawing, printmaking, and sewing. I have also worked for Wholefoods Market, which has grown my interest in food industry. This new interest has brought me into food design and how it can inform our views of this world.
