How an Innovative Coat Designer is Helping the Homeless

As a 20 year old product design student, Veronika Scott developed an innovative coat/sleeping-bag for the homeless. But one day when she was giving the coats away, a woman came out of a homeless shelter and told her, “We don’t need coats, coats are pointless. We need jobs.”

Scott realized the woman was right. So she found a way to provide temporary help and still make a lasting change in people’s lives.
