Why we created Wynd
We created Wynd out of a need to create clean environments for ourselves and our families wherever we go. Ray (founder) frequently traveled to Asia, where poor air quality is a well-known problem. He hated the way pollution made him feel, and wanted to be able to take healthy air with him on the go. An engineering major at MIT, he decided to take action—he brought together a team that included other MIT engineers, seasoned designers, and even a former rocket scientist to build such a device.
