Nejc Stupan is a textile engineer from NTF (University of Ljubljana). An enthusiastic individual who is seeking to combines both skills in textile materials with modern open source engineering technology. He worked in RogLab as technician, where he entered in contact with digital technologies and discovered all their potential when applied to wearables.
For his master thesis, he is focusing on open source low cost textile machinery based on the Open Knit project. He believes that modern textile applications can go way back local and become more personal.
Nejc has volunteered in several social organizations in Slovenia. He is currently main coordinator of activities in Poligon MakerLab, where is in charge of the communication, preparation and organization of events like workshops and presentations.
