Today, on Female Frequency Podcast I am thrilled to introduce you to the OG of eco-design—a visionary artist reshaping our world, one discarded item at a time. Julie Conway is a self-proclaimed "dumpster diver" who takes special pride in transforming trash into extraordinary designs.

Winning awards across the USA, England, and Italy, her handblown glass lighting installations are sculptural and coveted by luxury brand hotels, interior designers, and thoughtful collectors alike.

Driven by a mission "to bring light and beauty to the world," Julie shares her secrets, thought paths, and how she keeps her practice carbon-positive. Join us as Julie and I talk about her inspiring journey from glassblower to lifelong eco-designer, proving that artistry and sustainability can beautifully coexist.

This conversation is part of Climate Pledge: In Glass, a docuseries I created in 2023 in partnership with Refract | The Seattle Glass Experience—the United States' newest festival celebrating innovative and creative approaches to glass.

Highlights you'll love:

• The bureaucratic hurdles of reusing discarded glass bottles and cooking oil.
• Julie's passion for transforming found glass bottles by melting them down into molten liquid and sculpting them into stunning statement lighting features.
• Insights into her approach to reducing her carbon footprint while creating art.
