What can you do to help in global pandemic if you’re not a doctor?
Rachel Smith is a Latina UX Designer based in LA. She has now founded two global volunteer organisations, one Design and the other Mutual Aid.
Design to Combat COVID-19 was set up to unite designers across the world to apply their skills to help solve problems caused by the pandemic.
Out of this community came the idea Masks For Docs - a project set up to get personal protective equipment to nurses and doctors.
They’ve delivered over 100,000 sets of PPE. Together the organisations now have over 7000+ global volunteers, across 6 continents. Design to Combat COVID19 has been featured in Google Design, Washington Post and Adobe for their work in the Design community.
