They have worked with digital fabrication and fashion and collaborated with New Skins and Francis Bitonti on the Verlan Dress, which is featured in Smart Textiles for Designers: Inventing the Future of Fabrics. As a freelance embroiderer, Trusewicz has worked with clients in the local automotive industry and large corporations such as Reebok.
