The\nconcept of an affordable, washable, and durable glove was inspired by looking\nat my mom\u2019s hands. Her hands have been rubbed raw from an excessive amount of\nhandwashing in an effort to prevent infection from the novel coronavirus. In\nthe photo, she holds a dinner fork in one hand and a remote control in the\nother. These two stationary objects paired with her over washed hands\nillustrate the new way of life we have adapted to: sheltering in place,\ncatching up on the latest Netflix shows, and taking extra precautions to\nprevent sickness. I wanted to create an efficient and aesthetically pleasing\ndesign that would lessen the number of times my mom would have to wash her\nhands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nis a dearth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the health care industry.\nDoctors and nurses require nitrile gloves when working with ill patients, and\nas the coronavirus continues to spread, their supply continues to diminish. To\npreserve the nitrile gloves for those in the medical industry, I wanted to\noffer the average, everyday person an alternative glove option. The outer layer\nof the glove is composed of fabric as opposed to latex so that the glove feels\nless cold and sterile and more familiar. A zipper repurposed from a dress is\nsewn on the edge of the glove. This design element provides an additional layer\nof functionality, as the zipper allows for a tailored fit around the hand\u2019s\ncontour. The inner lining of the glove is a recycled Hefty bag and protects the\nuser\u2019s hand from contamination. Efficient and hygienic, this glove comes in\nblue, red, off white, and my personal favorite, black. Hopefully, my design\nconcept will help alleviate not only the anxiety surrounding the pandemic but\nalso the number of times we have to scrub our hands raw.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen Brown 5.5.2020 Materials: Fabric, plastic, glue, zipper My final project, features an eco-friendly and minimalist glove design.
