When the pandemic first took force, Bay Area companies Zenbooth and Gehl pivoted from business-as-usual to assist the medical field in advancing the fight against COVID-19.
Zenbooth, a San Francisco-based company that produces office phone booths, shifted from making privacy shields to using the same tools to design and produce sneeze guards what they have coined GoodGuards, according to Zenbooth CEO Sam Johnson.
Gehl, a design company focused on improving public spaces to be more appealing and accessible, including Times Square in New York City and Market Street in San Francisco, started creating kiosk testing centers, according to Blaine Merker, Gehl San Francisco managing director.
