‘Face’ masks
A recent New York Times article addressed a problem that has arisen along with the threat of coronavirus infection, and that is being a little more face blind. Most people are wearing face masks that cover almost half of their faces. No wonder why your office mates don’t recognize you whenever you meet down the hallways.
But a Chinoy entrepreneur had a witty take on this problem. Jo-Anne Wong of Merry Masks PH thought of not just customizing the designs of their face masks, they printed the faces of their customers. So it’s literally a ‘face’ mask!
