Meet the Maker: Blue Moon Designs

Katherine Bevcar, the creative mind behind Blue Moon Designs, is bringing light up jewelry and fashion to the cosplay world using Adafruit technology. Her work is a gorgeous blend of historic designs and modern tech, as she infuses her costume pieces and accessories with lovely and tasteful animated lights.

See an interview of Katherine on YouTube and get a glimpse of her work in action.

Katherine’s passion for creating captivating costumes led her to pursue a degree in Costume and Textile Design from the University of California, Davis. However, it was Adafruit’s tutorials that sparked a new direction for her craft.

Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of events like Burning Man and the steampunk aesthetics of the Neverwas Haul, Katherine began integrating LED lights and other hardware into her designs. Her creations are unique and gorgeously made. She brings her pop-up booth to fairs and festivals all over the San Francisco Bay area, and has a bevy of delighted and loyal customers who love accessorising with her light-up bustles, headpieces, and necklaces.

Beyond the spectacle, Katherine’s work promotes body positivity, ensuring that everyone can embrace their unique style. Adafruit has been pivotal in Katherine’s journey, equipping her with the tools and knowledge to push the boundaries of wearable tech.

Katherine’s designs really fill a niche, showcasing the blend of fashion and technology that is emerging in the festival and cosplay culture in the San Francisco Bay Area.
