Lounge & Office Chair modified![]()
I needed an office chair. Not just any chair though. I had seen the movie TRON Legacy and became obsessed with the light strip laden environments and technologies. I was also looking for a stylish lighting solution for my bedroom / office. My solution was to find the same type of lighting wire that they used in the film, which I subsequently found. I then shopped at IKEA for a nice lounge chair solution since I wanted an alternative to the upright desk posture which was straining my shoulders and back. (read more ↓)
The full solution was to build a mousepad that could attach to the arm which I fashioned from some a piece of cardboard, some black duct tape and some foam that came from the box of a monitor I had purchased. I then installed the EL wire kit and inverter. The inverter was noisy however, so I took a trip to the dollar store and purchased a plastic container and some thin carpet which I used for sound insulation. With that out of the way, I decided to include the perimeter of my ceiling to bring it all together. Below is the result. My good friend Tone found us a deal on 4 more of these black IKEA chairs, so I made him a yellow variation without the mousepad. A green and red one are both in production.
› A comfortable and stylish alternative to the traditional office desk setup.
› A chair that features a mousepad on the arm so the shoulders can remain relaxed as the keyboard rests on the user’s lap.
› An excellent mood lighting setup that integrates the bedroom architecture along with the furniture.
A Natural Deodorant and Body Spray

I needed a natural spray deodorant to replace the one that I loved before but was no longer sold in Canada. I threw together some essential oils, some natural grain alcohol and some distilled water. I spent some time balancing out the perfect formula. The result was for more successful than I had imagined. The scent turned out to adapt to be complimentary on both a man’s skin and a woman’s both in a completely unique fashion. Not only that, everyone wanted it. (read more ↓)
So, I started a company called Sensible Naturals. I’m selling it in stores as well as on an individual basis. I then developed the latest version which is odorless for those people that prefer it and need some extra powerful protection. Both are 100% natural and work great respectively. The product is a major hit and I am now looking for a company to buy the product line or act as a fulfillment services.
› Identified a need for a superior product and filled it.
› Started a business which included ties to the retail sector as well as product licensing and health standards compliance.
› Built an e-commerce website for ordering as well as a series of marketing materials geared to reinforce the product culture.
