Junky into Funky and Useful

Attendees will leave with a new appreciation for the everyday stuff they throw away (add to the landfill.)

Kristi Stone is the founder and executive director of BeCreative.Zone, a 501c3 non-profit organization that helps foster the arts and creativity while cleaning up the environment. The organization’s mission is to educate people about everyday stuff we can save from the landfill for upcycling, fix it, and funky art projects. 

While managing another small eco non-profit since 2003 that distributed end of day food, Kristi upcycled this NPO and changed its name to BeCreative.Zone in 2017 along with its mission to clean up the environment through creativity and the arts. She hopes to continue to bring awareness about the massive amounts of still usable materials that get thrown away every day. The DIY (do-it-yourself) movement teaches people how to live more sustainably by reducing, reusing, repurposing used stuff into art and other useful upcycled materials. Today, Kristi lives in San Diego and has a daughter that is an artist.
