  • Summary

  • Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortages in Personal Protective Equipment or PPE for medical professionals have been an ongoing issue. Two key types of PPE in desperate need are face shields and surgical masks. To mitigate this shortage, educators, makers, and everyday people have been sewing, laser cutting, and 3D printing PPE and then donating them to medical professionals, neighbors, friends, and family members. In this new podcast series, we’ll be talking to the amazing people volunteering their time, materials, and expertise to mitigate the shortage of PPE. Our guest today is Courtney Lyons. Courtney is a pattern maker, fashion designer, and educator. Courtney describes her journey sewing masks and related issues of design, accessibility, fit, and distribution. Courtney also talks about parenting, teaching, and being enrolled in a nursing program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
