SUMMARY

What is Drift?

Drift is a UI and interaction design project that unifies multiple devices into a cohesive, personalized sleep experience.

THE PROBLEM

Sleep products tend to help with individual tasks, but not the full experience.

They address individual aspects of rest: sleep tracking, alarms, and lighting. There is an opportunity for a more streamlined solution. This project addresses how interaction design can enhance support for diverse sleep routines.

How might a wearable and a bedside device work together to support a calmer, more connected wind-down experience?
