Mamava, the leading expert in lactation space design, provides dignified lactation accommodations and breastfeeding resources for employers and organizations around the world.
Fed up with pumping in bathrooms and borrowed spaces—Mamava’s co-founders, Sascha Mayer and Christine Dodson, applied their decades of expertise in design and brand strategy to solve a problem that was largely invisible: the lack of lactation spaces in workplaces and public spaces.
Sascha and Christine took a human-centered design approach, starting with research, talking to breastfeeding people and employers, and creating prototypes of moveable lactation spaces that could be easily implemented into facilities. In 2013 they installed the first lactation pod in the Burlington International Airport (BTV), and Mamava was born.
