Who We Are
CLAIRE MATULA-OSTERMAN '24
Founder/ Editor-in-Chief/ Design & Fabrication
Claire has had a passion for water conservation since she was about six years old. This passion developed when her aunt worked in The Gambia for the Peace Corps. She used to proclaim that she was going to make sure everyone in the world could have water after seeing some of the people her aunt worked with not have access to clean water. She developed the idea to create a product out of materials that would be deemed unwanted and unsafe in waterways. Further, she pushed for 71% of the profit to go towards water conservation efforts headed by Water.org. The remaining funds go towards producing educational materials and recovering waste to be transformed into jewelry. She is determined, hard-working, and eager to create change.
