North Bay Designer Responds to Shortage of Masks

NOVATO, Calif. - April 22, 2020 - PRLog -- Throckmorton Jones, a local design house creating and producing bold, sustainable accessories and apparel, began fabricating face masks in response to demands created by COVID-19.

"I've always created pieces that helped individuals express themselves and their individuality.  Taking this skillset and applying it to the current high demand for face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19, was one way I could help my community," says Lisa Jones, founder and designer of Throckmorton Jones.

Supporting Our Community

As small businesses navigate the new landscape of commerce during these unprecedented times of sheltering in place and economic uncertainties, many have responded by helping their neighbors and leading with kindness. Before the Coronavirus pandemic, Jones was on the cusp of her official brand launch, originally set to take place this week in Sausalito.  Now she's working to fulfill deliveries of upwards of 100+ masks per week, some of which are donated to local priests, seniors and other higher-risk members of the community. Additionally, Jones is working with #ProjectCareMasks to address the needs of SF homeless and other seniors in need.
