Luma

Custom reminder hardware that trades buzzers, alerts and snoozed alarms for slow, colored light.

Luma

Luma began with a simple irritation: every reminder in my life arrived as an interruption. Notifications buzz, alarms snooze, and everything demands attention at the exact moment it fires. I wanted an object that could hold a reminder the way a sticky note does — present, patient, and silent.

Light as language

The answer turned out to be color. Luma sits on the desk and shifts through slow gradients as deadlines approach, so a glance tells you everything without a single sound. The project covers industrial design, a custom PCB, and the firmware that maps time to light.
