In 2019, while teaching my two young boys about 3D printing, I decided to try to figure out a way to utilize plastic waste to create new products instead of creating more waste. Fed by my passion for the environment and a strong desire to leave behind a better place for my kids, I began a two year long journey of research and building unique plastic processing machines. Perseverance, determination and collaboration led me to where I am today; up-cycling locally collected plastic bottle caps into beautiful, reusable items such as earrings. Not only did my own desires fuel my mission, but the willingness and efforts of the Flagstaff Community to donate their caps inspired me to continue with my pursuits. It is my hope that the products I create not only contribute to a better world through recycling but also bring lasting joy and spread awareness through the story they create.

If you have an earring design and style in mind, I am accepting custom orders!  Just reach out to me with the details of what you would like.
