Vision

To develop and distribute easily scalable PPE designs and simple safe-usage guidelines for the public in order to protect and educate the community.

We are driven by a focus on maintaining empathy, simplicity, sustainability, and accessibility in our solutions.

Our goal is to take our PPE designs through the development and iteration process before broadly distributing the ideas.

Our solutions should be accessible to everyone in our communities, including marginalized and under-resourced groups, and essential workers.

We plan to collaborate with medical professionals to design the most effective homemade PPE we can, and to spread high-quality information to our community.

We hope that our work can serve as a framework for others to use and build upon during global health crises now and in the future.
