24 hour clocks

Looking into how others have displayed 24 hour time in clock form. We're worried about people accidentally reading our clock as if it is a standard 12 hour clock.

About Us

Hello! 


We are Linette Brown and Michelle Zheng, designers exploring the concept of time. This blog is a documentation on our journey to bring a bit of peace and tranquility back into the chaos of our lives.

Some points of inspiration:

  • Changing Seasons: We are fortunate to live in Canada, a beautiful country full of nature adapting to Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer Climates.
  • Clustered Memories: What happened last year is distilled down to a few standout events
  • 5 Year Calendars: Daily agendas which track one thought per day, every day for five years.
  • Taking time to plan your time: unplugging a bit and getting away from the busy-ness to reflect

Our plan for the year
