Naomi Wu's work to date

A few highlights of my work:

The Infinity Skirt that I had built for 2016 Make Fashion at the Shenzhen Maker Faire but could not wear due to the rule that I could only participate if I did my build with the foreign team:

The Blinkini (aka LCD shutter top) that I ended up wearing as Disruptive Fashion Tech to protest the exclusion local female Makers from the 2016 Shenzhen Maker Faire:

Project Screaming Fist- the Disruptive Tech, WiFi hacking drone project I built to protest the all-male public ad campaign for the 2017 Shenzhen Maker Faire and the marginalization of local female Makers at that event.

There's lots more of course, but those give a good idea.

During this time I produced more builds and tutorials every year than every Makerspace in China- combined. I received more international media coverage for those builds than every Makerspace in China- combined (probably more domestic Chinese media coverage also).

I was on the cover of Make: Magazine Issue 61 representing Shenzhen.

There are other factors that contribute to this publicity of course, as with Mario the Maker Magician and Simone Giertz whom also do intersectional Making - with magic and comedy respectively. Evangelism, presentation and community engagement is seldom "pure" and it's hard to separate them to determine some kind of absolute technical merit. You can't unscramble an egg.

I am a Hackaday contributor, I try to help with a more positive view of China and practical advice for getting things accomplished:

Collaborations with travel and lifestyle YouTubers lets me reach people not familiar with Maker Culture:

I am the top Mainland Chinese poster on Thingiverse by downloads.

Open Source Advocacy- but not long-winded idealistic Powerpoints in front of other English speaking OSH proponents. I took the fight to where it matters- in person, in the factories with the bosses, on WeChat, every day, answering questions in Chinese, explaining core concepts and calling out license violators:

In the case of Creality3D I was able to get them to publish their version of the Marlin firmware and the response to the video is so good I am helping their engineers with a GitHub account to start publishing more of their files.
