Social network mnemonics for teenagers, worn as handmade jewellery.

Developed with five 10-to-14 year olds across two participatory design sessions, addressing the massification of social networks by letting teenagers link individuals or groups to wearable objects.

Mixed-reality mobile interactions augment crafted artefacts. A working prototype of a bluetooth luminous ring was built. With Wendy Mackay.
