I am Daniel Wong, a product designer from Hong Kong graduated from the University of Edinburgh.
I love to design and make because I want to get my ideas out there and make it a reality, no matter how big or small. I like designing both physically and digitally, be it sketching by hand on paper, making prototype models, or creating CAD models and rendering them. My design style tends to be more minimalistic and pragmatic, as I tend to believe that form follows function.
I want to be able to solve problems and help improve people's lives through design, mostly in a home environment. I believe that even the most simple and subtle designs can be successful if they can improve one aspect of the life of even just one person, making them feel like a weight is being lifted off their shoulders.
Gnite is a nightlight that helps users combat revenge bedtime procrastination, reducing exposure to blue light to improve one's sleep quality. It will only function when the user's phone is placed in the nightlight and otherwise loops a red and blue flashing sequence as a reminder system, helping users gradually build discipline in distancing themselves from their phones before bedtime.
