Created Pedi Caps, a scrub cap with different animated designs that are chosen by pediatric patients to distract them from upcoming surgery. The idea is to leave the patients feeling safe and comfortable from the procedures they need. Hopefully leaving a smile on the children's face before entering the operating room.
