Jo Heumann

I was approached by a new apparel startup that was pausing their launch in response to Covid-19. Instead, they initiated a Kickstarter campaign to make and donate much-needed PPE to those in need. Alongside this endeavor, the founder hoped to offer a premium, sustainable face mask that would help fund additional donations. There were many challenges in terms of domestic supply chain and sourcing during the early stages of the pandemic. However, I was able to source sustainable fabric and trims, issue fit comments, and coordinate the production run, all in about 10 weeks. The mask now has over 50 five-star reviews and has acted as the start-up's inaugural product.
