Furniture Design With A Mission.  The host for this episode is Ruby Menon.  The guest for this episode is Sasha Plotitsa.

What do ex-felons and construction waste have to do with one another? They are two very important social challenges that are in dire need of support: recidivism and construction waste.


In this episode of Work ReImagined, Ruby Menon talks to Sasha Plotitsa, the CEO and Founder of Formr (https://theformr.com). His mission is to give second chances and a fresh start to formerly incarcerated men and women to create his furniture designs that are built from recycled construction waste. His vision tackles two very important social challenges and inspires his mission to create clever designs, with a purpose: Objects. With Conviction.
