The cost of living in New York is much higher than I thought, and I realized it was time to make a plan to save money.
Snake snack snake is a money-saving lamp. First, you need to set up your goal. The percentage of the led strip lights turn up will still be according to how much they reached the goal. When the goal is achieved, the “snake” will get its “snack”, and the snack will turn on.

A money-saving Light
The initial concept is a fade-in screen, when the user reaches their saving goal, the screen will show it fully and clearly. Before that, the screen only shows part of the picture according to the percentage of their saving goal. The picture is a random picture, the user will see the different pics for every single goal.
Refinement:
Then the concept goes to be a Snake game-inspired money-saving Light. The drawings for the light appearance:

Concept #1
Calendar Album: Wall-mounted calendar, when phone scan/close to the date, it will shows the pics of that day.
Concept #2

Concept #3:
Saving Electric Gallery: user need set up a saving goal and monthly budget. for example, the goal is $1000 per year, and successfully save $200 this month, 20% of the gallery light will turn on. Until user reach the goal, the entire pattern will show up. (pattern my random, so every time user set up goal will have different pattern, more exception)

I forgot to take the process image. Soldering is challenging, If I have more time to do it, I will try different fabrics and accessories. Or make more as a collection.
The artwork of Kathleen Ryan inspires me. She uses different shapes and colors of stone to represent various forms of fruit decay. My mind was drawn to the many beautiful things found in the microscopic world, and I want to make an enlarged version of the cell, using buttons and LED lights to represent the vitality of cells.
I prepared two different fabrics and several buttons in different sizes to use in the cell brooch.
