UVC Air Disinfection System
Aery is a compact Ultraviolet-C air disinfection system developed to help people regain confidence in social interaction in a shared space. The design maximises disinfection efficacy using a dual-stage approach. This is achieved by cleverly repurposing the wasted heat from the thermal management unit and introducing an airflow control channel to impede air velocity which increases the air’s Ultraviolet-C exposure duration during the disinfection process.

Breast Pump
TailorMade Pro 2, the smallest hospital-grade double breast pump in the industry, is made silent and compact to fit into any bag a mother never leaves home without. It is designed to maximise milk yield through various suction settings and by caring for the emotional needs of the mother during pumping using soft glowing lights for calmness. A warm grey colour is chosen as it is gender neutral, catering to the supportive role of a father when handling baby essentials outdoors. All aspects of the design from aesthetics to function are based on user feedback and backed by lactation experts.
