Nila Rezaei is an industrial designer who was for a long time focused on creating things from post-consumer waste, like the textile waste from Australia's fast-fashion habit. Then in 2023, she saw the news from her home country Iran, of a female-led uprising that was ignited after the death of young Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody. Nila used her despair at what was happening to fuel a new project: designing a plastic product from donated headscarves, with a mission to heal.
