By working together for Redemptive Plastics, a collaborative initiative led by alt_ & Happy Returns Studios, we started to feel heard in a whole new way.
Because for the first time ever, we were given the opportunity to re(spect) each other's talents, re(member) how fulfilling a team can be, & re(ignite) our shared passion for bringing dreams to life.
Our mission with Redemptive Plastics was to pump up the volume for the voices of four brilliant young Chicagoans known as the Plastic Patrol.
This small and mighty group of young leaders lives in the Austin neighborhood, where they recycle plastic waste into a range of creative, colorful, everyday products such as stools and benches.
Justus met the Plastic Patrol last year, right before he moderated a panel discussion with them at the Design Museum of Chicago for the pre-sale launch of their new book published by Sophisticated Press, Lake Stool: How to Sit on Your Problems.
From that point on, we three of re(verb) layered skill upon skill with impeccable will to help publish Lake Stool, promote Redemptive Plastics, & empower the Plastic Patrol cohort to think bigger and bolder together.
