Don't Talk to Me 2016
- Another interactive brooch: electronics (Lilypad microcontroller, sewable LEDs, pieces of standard LEDs)
- A response to working in an open plan office: it's a traffic light that indicates the wearer's availability

- Hand washable
- Later developed with assistance into a 3D printed standalone piece (inset)
