175 people die a day in the U.S. from an opioid overdose, and naloxone is the drug that can reverse it. Loved ones and passerby are usually the first to find an overdose victim, but current naloxone kits have not been designed with their needs in mind. Nalox was designed to be a better overdose kit. It is simple, intuitive, discrete, and small enough to be carried at all times so that it is there when the user needs it most. Most importantly, it brings empathy and control to those who desperately need it. In short, Nalox puts the power to save a life in everyones hands.

Celeste is an Industrial Designer and Design Researcher who finds joy and passion in understanding users and using their true needs to inform her design work. She firmly believes in never designing something that shouldn’t or doesn’t need to exist. She makes sure of this by employing her human centered design approach to conduct design research and industrial design work in the field of medical devices.

Nalox is the thesis work of Celeste Greenbaum, who now works as an Industrial Designer and Researcher in the medical devices field. Celeste was compelled to design Nalox after the death of a close friend from an opioid overdose. She realized that a better overdose kit needed to be designed so that it could get the lifesaving drug naloxone into more hands and therefore save more lives.
