In 2019, Adak company decided to redesign their sleep gadget, and I contributed to the project from the research and sketch phases all the way through to the 3D visualization.

Initial prototype from different angles

Form Exploration

Based on existing products in the market, I began brainstorming ideas. The forms I developed primarily featured large displays, enabling users to control the gadget via touch. However, the client opted for a more ergonomic design, which made the production process simpler and less complex.

Problems and Limitations

One of the biggest challenges in this project was the lack of access to the initial product, which made it difficult to accurately calculate the required internal space for the gadget. To overcome this, I modeled all the internal components, including details like the speaker and clock display, to fill in the gaps and resolve the issue. Additionally, there was other limitation, such as the need to retain the existing buttons and some components, as the company wanted to use the same ones they had already purchased. As a result, the design had to be carefully adjusted and tailored to fit these pre-selected components.
