Kate Reed

DIRECTOR, Design

Kate Reed is a Boston-based designer building wearable technology, leveraging principles of nature, to connect humans and computers.

These wearables harness human biological input and output methods through the combination of unstable media, experimental interfaces, and augmented materials.

Kate built her first wearable computer when she was 13, before the introduction of the Apple Watch. Since then, she has designed, engineered and built over a hundred wearable computers.  

Her designs and inventions have been featured at the White House, New York Fashion Week, MoDA, the Hackaday Superconference, the MIT Museum, and more.

After becoming the first graduate of the MIT-backed NuVu Studio, Kate went on to pursue a dual degree from Brown University (Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship) and at the Rhode Island School of Design (Industrial Design, Computational Technology, & Culture).
