this was a brief, two-week project in collaboration with the Episcopal Farm Workers Ministry to develop a way to keep immigrant farm workers safe during their work

ethnographic research and problem identification

solution development

final concept refinement

my final design was a vest and sleeve combo made out of a fabric containing Teflon. Teflon will block the workers clothes and skin from sickness inducing chemicals leeched out by the tobacco during their work day. The garments will protect the worker, and not inhibit them in any way, along with being a very affordable solution for a charitable organization to pursue.
