Product Design

In the spring/summer of 2020, I worked with Charlotte MEDI, a nonprofit organization launched by a colleague during the pandemic with the goal of bridging the personal protective equipment (PPE) shortage being experienced by hospitals in the Charlotte, NC area. I assisted with the design and development of face shields, masks, and surgeon ventilation units. Using various prototyping methods, including 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC milling, and molding & casting, we produced hundreds of test units in-house before sending the designs off to be injection-molded for rapid distribution.
