David Bassetti is an engineer and product designer who has spent years in the medical industry and holds several patents.
He was first drawn to design at 17, when he kept breaking windsurfing masks and wanted to make one that wouldn’t snap. His Positive Air Pressure Respirator, a better-fitting, reusable mask developed in Spain during the full lockdown of 2020, won the $5,000 Product Design Grant of the IDA Covid-19 Design Innovation Grant. Bassetti’s guiding principle for the project was “fit, then function”.
