Craftwork led concept, software development, and textile design for “Echo Knits”, a product and brand campaign created for a commercial footwear brand, translating personal audio recordings of inspirational messages into algorithmic knit sock patterns.

Echo Knits is a product line and brand campaign that turns inspirational messages into wearable design. Using speech-to-text translation and AI sentiment analysis, each recorded message is analyzed for tone and emotional content, generating a unique algorithmic pattern that visually reflects the meaning behind it. Color palettes represent the emotion conveyed, circle and pattern density reflect message length and frequency, and a collective ASCII-binary pattern knitted across the collection represents the shared thread connecting every message included.

Developed for a commercial footwear brand, the project spans both a physical product, a limited sock collection, and an accompanying brand campaign, with each pair connected to its story through a scannable QR code linking wearers to the message and visuals that inspired their design.
