This clock design explores the fluidity of home and cultural identity. Inspired by the experience of belonging to more than one place, it features two clock faces that can be set to different time zones, allowing individuals to reflect on their personal definition of home. The project’s objective was to create a home accessory that speaks to contemporary Canadian culture.
Using only structure and form, this speaker amplifies music from a mobile phone without any electronic components. The goal of the project was to create a technology-free sound amplifier, and market research revealed existing products that use shape alone to boost audio. These insights informed the development of my own structural design.
These tealight holders were crafted from off-cuts and scraps collected from previous woodworking projects. By repurposing discarded materials, the design highlights the potential to transform what might be considered waste into something functional and beautiful. The project aimed to create a product made from reclaimed materials that could still be easily replicated or mass-produced. Through local research, I identified several Toronto organizations that generated excess wood waste and used their discarded off-cuts for fabrication.
