Tiffany Threadgould is a design junkie who gives scrap materials a second life. The New York Times has deemed her "the Martha Stewart of Trash" because of her creative, do-it-yourself approach to upcycling. She's the head of design at TerraCycle (www.terracycle.net), a company that collects and creates products from waste. She also keeps up her own green business, RePlayGround (www.replayground.com), where you can find her ReMake It kits and oodles of DIY projects. She also wrote the book ReMake It! (Sterling Publishing) which includes nearly 100 recycling craft projects from the stuff you usually scrap.

Tiffany has her Masters in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute where she developed her thesis “Trash Nouveau – Reincarnating Garbage into Usable Products.” Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Everyday with Rachel Ray, to name a few. She is also featured on the TV series, Garbage Moguls, which aired Fall 2010 on the National Geographic network. Tiffany thinks that garbage has feelings, too and can often be found playing with and ReMaking junk at her design studio in Brooklyn, NY.
