Hwee Chong Chan has the coolest name in the world. And when you meet him, you soon realise he has the personality to match that glorious name.      

He rocks up for our meeting with his dog in a pram and wearing a T-shirt he's designed for us. We're gobsmacked. What a bloody legend!

Hwee Chong works in advertising but he's clearly not an adman. He once got rejected from a job, he tells us, because he had too many innovations in his book and not enough ads. And yet the same company probably charges their clients for designations like Chief Innovation Officer, who we're sure is not nearly as innovative as our friend here.

He's developed a 3D printed bracelet that lets you carry your favourite succulent or cactus around with you.

He's designed a blanket you can wear, so it won't fall off while you toss and turn in your sleep or stretch to get more chips while watching TV on the couch.

There's a minimalist bookshelf that's so simple and genius, you'll be kicking yourself for not thinking of it. Pixel glasses that your kid can put on for the adult parts of a movie. An hourglass shaped water bottle that reminds you on the hour when it's time to drink some more water so you're never dehydrated.

Not content with innovating, Hwee Chong has art projects galore as well.

The Snail is a homage to the everyday folk of China who rely on the humble bicycle to get by. Hwee Chong and co designed and hand built an ultra-compact, human powered cardboard caravan, one-fifth the size of a standard  trailer - an entire existence on wheels.

The Door Project is an art movement designed to inspire people who see no way out of a problem. Projected doors onto road blocks remind people that they're in charge of their own destiny and they can open doors when it seems like all hope is lost.

Lightstix graffiti is a street art project that uses, you guessed it, light sticks to do street graffiti. The glowing sticks made it onto the Great Wall of China, the forbidden city and other landmarks in China in beautiful patterns.

The world's smallest sushi is designed to remind people to seek out the little things and not be so obsessed with everything big.

There's heaps more. But we'll let you discover them all on his site at your leisure. You might find some ads on there as well, but try not to hold it against him.
