This Is What Drives Emma Orhun To Code

Have you ever wanted to combine the functionality of your tech accessories with the playfulness of your personal style? That’s the question Emma Orhun, a 25-year-old creative technologist currently based in Ottawa, Canada, asked herself before building her own AirPod earrings and Tamawatchi —  a hybrid Tamagotchi-Apple Watch innovation. “I think there's a Venn diagram between a lot of things, and I love finding where they can connect,” says Orhun, who enjoys merging the exteriors of beloved, Y2K aesthetics with the hardware of modern software. “And it's usually something technical with something less technical.”
