Cute citrus fruit looking foldable silicone covers to prevent your fruits from oxidising and drying out. (and for holding your pizza, or holding a hot pot, or covering your cup, or sit underneath your cup...)
Random Brand x Random Item
As a minor university project, Daniel was given a random brand and product to design. Jimmy Choo and... central heating controller? oof!
Binception
It's like an onion but it holds your trash. Just remove a layer every time you fill the bin. The layers are made from decomposable paper pulp similar to those you have for single-use paper bowls. One of the first patented designs from my highschool society!
Slab Lock
Most toilets in china are still squat-toilets. Therefore, phones and wallets won't survive in your pocket, you have to hold it or put it somewhere. Slab lock incorporates a slab for your items with the lock, so you will never leave anything behind. (this was a big problem in my high school and my society implemented this fix with success)
Music
I play the drums, piano, guitar, bass and sing. I improvise and produce music.
