Research
About 10 million Americans experience SAD, and find very few outlets to address the problem effectively. Light therapy is an underutilized option that has proven results. It mimics natural sunlight, which stimulates the brain to release chemicals like serotonin that improve mood and ease other symptoms of SAD.
My research included personal interviews, user process analysis, market analysis, and product breakdowns.
The Ease Lamp is designed to bring form and function together for the light therapy market. Bringing a simple yet elegant design that can be applied into any space while still bringing ultimate treatment for SAD and other disorders.
I focused on pushing the design through constant iteration. Even if I was happy at points I wanted to get all my ideas out there.
My process included quick sketch ideation and rapid CAD development as well as prototyping.
