Why I Designed a UFO-Shaped Galaxy Projector

As a photographer and drone filmmaker, I’ve always been fascinated by light—how it moves, how it shapes space, and how it tells a story. I spend a lot of time chasing sunrises above the clouds, flying through mountain fog, and capturing stars from open fields. But no matter how stunning the footage is, there’s always something magical about how light makes us feel—especially in our own homes.

The idea for the UFO-shaped galaxy projector came to me one night after a long drone shoot in the desert. I was reviewing footage of a glowing horizon under a star-filled sky, and it struck me: What if we could bring that feeling indoors? Not just a light show, but an immersive experience—something that captures the scale of the cosmos and the calm it brings.

The UFO shape came naturally. As someone who loves aerial perspectives, I’ve always been drawn to spacecraft, drones, and objects that float silently through space. The UFO form is futuristic, a bit playful, and instantly sparks imagination. It’s the kind of object that makes kids curious and adults nostalgic. And when paired with projection, it becomes a storytelling tool—projecting not just stars, but wonder.

Together with a friend who shares the same love for family and design, we built our first prototype on weekends. We didn’t want it to be just decorative—we wanted it to create a feeling: peace, awe, and connection. Whether you're winding down after work, helping your child fall asleep, or just taking a quiet moment for yourself, this little UFO becomes a part of your atmosphere.

For me, it’s more than a product. It’s a way to capture the sky—and bring it home.
