“We simply don’t have the resources to process waste at the speed that we create it, especially when it comes to plastics. My mission as a designer and maker is to contribute to a sustainable planet and challenge the norms of mindless disposal of single-use plastics. I see potential in the things destined to end up in landfills, dumpster diving to reveal unseen treasures and render them with beauty and value.”
