Aya Ayoubi's Delta Jacket addresses the needs of people experiencing homelessness through an adaptable garment that can transform into insulated bedding or shelter. Developed through human-centered research, prototyping, and material exploration, the project connects product innovation with safety, mobility, and human dignity. 

The Delta Jacket received both first place and the People's Choice Award at the 2021 Georgia Tech InVenture Prize, demonstrating how design can respond to complex social challenges with practical and thoughtful solutions. 

SafiChoo emerged from the intersection of industrial design, engineering, research, and global health.

SafiChoo received both first place and the People's Choice Award at the 2014 Georgia Tech InVenture Prize and helped inspire Jasmine Burton's continued work in global sanitation through Wish for WASH.
