Motivation Inspired by bedrooms with small windows, I concieved of a better way to wake up by drawing on natural and learned habits.

Development Using Mondrian's simplistic style as my guide, I generated many different solutions to waking up to a natural progression of brighter light.

Quick Model Pull down the "shade" before going to bed, just like a normal window. During the night it will slowly roll back up, while getting brighter just about sunrise. Pull down farther for more hours of rest.

Exploded View Modeled injection moldable components to house mechanics, lights, and electronics.

Manufacturing Concluded that this product would be a profitable venture based on estimated cost of manufacturing and number of pieces sold in two years.

Molding Detailed manufacturing costs, timeline, and layouts for injection molding of major components to my Wakelight design. Considered nominal wall thickness, draft angle, air vents, meld lines, and other plastics processing considerations when planning for manufacturing details.

Light Testing Experimented with fiber optics to prove possibility of function.
