Who looks at an ordinary security envelope—the kind with a busy pattern on the inside so you can’t see what it contains—and sees jewelry? Lindsey Quaglio, that’s who.

A Chicago resident, Lindsey has a passion for protecting the environment and minimizing her role in creating waste. She tells us her, "creativity flourishes when she is confronted with the challenge of breathing new life into reclaimed materials and found objects."

Made by Q, Lindsey’s creative outlet, wants us all to , "reuse... recycle... rethink."
