For Solumbra by Sun Precautions

​

During my time at Solumbra I was given the opportunity to design and construct one-of-a-kind products requested by our most highly sun-sensitive customers. Each of these projects was developed for unfaltering protection and performance based on the needs of each person. I  was personally responsible for all of the design, patternmaking, and sewing required for each product.

​

Here you will see a hood created for a woman diagnosed with a rare condition that made her so sensitive to sunlight she could not go outside during the day without being covered from head to toe. She required a lightweight, well-ventilated hood that would allow her to comfortably eat, drink, and communicate. The clear plastic vision panel is removable for easy washing, and it also features adjustable straps and a sweatband for added comfort.

​

The other sun-protective projects shown include modified gloves for kayaking and other outdoor activities and a helmet drape that traveled around the USA on a motorcycle trip.
