WHEN:
Fall 2022
Thrifty Mellon is a student run on-campus thrift store that I started in my freshman year of college. It has now grown to becoming a hub of reuse, circularity, and sustainability. We provide a place for clothing to find a new home and stay within the campus community. The design of this organization was a big part of its creation. It served as a place for me to play as I learnt how to be a designer. Now, with our design team, this sense of play grows through each event that establishes itself uniquely in the broader system of work.
