Ear saver helps hook your surgical mask at the back of your head to reduce tension on your ears.
Fishbone ear saver's design takes inspiration from the skeleton of 2 fishes passing by each other and its final shape is a result of testing what was available on the market. Tweaks were made by beefing up the shape for durability, removing redundancy on specific design details so that it prints more efficiently and most importantly, reducing the costs so that its price can be made affordable.

The Motivation
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many freelancers like myself had our gigs taken away abruptly.
As a Product Designer, I thought, why not do something to contribute in a way I know best, so instead of waiting for things to get better, let's make it better for the folks who have to wear masks for long periods.
