The unexpected way that masks saved my life
This is my talk at Workday Design Week, it’s a COVID story filled with highs and lows, uncertainty, and success. This is a story that taught me the true meaning of Resilience.
During the early days of the lockdown, I struggled to find a routine to calm my fears of the unknown. Through mask-making, I was able to build on my connections and gain fulfillment by supplying much-needed masks to friends and family.
Watch my talk and see how what seemed to be a simple solution to my COVID depression, quickly exceeded my expectations and taught me a valuable life lesson.

My talk
“Exquisite. That’s the only word I have for your process and presentation for Design Week, Vichai. It was a privilege to be your coach, considering all you taught me during this collaboration!
Your poignant story, your bravery, your candor, your solicitation of feedback, your tireless iteration, your attention to every detail of your deck, your video (I don’t even know how you achieved it without a production crew), and of course your masks… exquisite. Thank you for sharing and for letting me be a part of your process.”
