Cammie is the Creative Manager, and has worked at Creative Reuse for over eight years! Wow! She has a passion for all things camp and kitsch, and likes to draw, paint, and create makeshift costumes from reused materials. Cammie believes that material reuse is a way to combat the current climate crisis and also keep art-making accessible to everyone, plus it’s just, like, totally cool, dude.
Fun facts: Cammie loves watching movies (especially horror) and has a cat named Griffin who is sort of mean (but very cute.)
You can see Cammie’s art on her Instagram: @Cammmieb.
Christina is a life-long reuse, upcycling, and preservation enthusiast with a professional practice in fine art conservation. When they’re not busying themselves learning the day-to-day operations of Creative Reuse, they can be found working on regional restoration projects including traditional paintings, public outdoor sculpture, historic decorative arts, and beloved garment repair. Christina has found their place in Creative Reuse, at the crossroads of their formal materiality studies, purposeful repetitive processes, and a “use what ya got” philosophy. They have lived in the Pittsburgh region for 10 years, by way of Florida’s Atlantic coast. Find them scouring the bottom shelves for treasures, with their nose in a book, or on their (much neglected) Instagram @christina_snacktasha.
Daniel is the Materials Coordinator and has worked at Creative Reuse since 2012. He likes to create found object assemblages with Western and/or animal themes. His favorite materials come from the drawers of the card catalog (plastic animals, googly eyes, and other bits ‘n pieces). Daniel also likes to bake and recently he’s been experimenting with various flavor combinations. You can find Daniel’s creative projects (and cupcakes) on his website danielshapiroart.com and Instagram @cowboygoods.
Matt believes that artistic expression is one of humanity’s greatest joys, and that accessibility and encouragement are key factors in making that expression regular and practical. His favorite sections at Creative Reuse are the traditional art supplies, the bulk office supplies, and the vintage items. As a Shop Assistant he enjoys discovering the histories of unusual items, talking about projects and supplies with customers, and generating ideas of his own while spending time in Creative Reuse’s inspiring environment. Matt is a cartoonist and musician, and his work can be found on Instagram @mattvituccioart, @brightsidepgh, and @sleepingwitchandsaturn.
Originally from the deep south, Leigh has been in Pittsburgh since 2020 and at Creative Reuse since 2023. Leigh’s interest in sustainability runs deep and she believes that reuse and repair are the most direct way we can lower our impact. Between her formal art education, professional marketing/museum/production experience, and many, many hobbies, she has accumulated many nuggets of knowledge that are now put to good use at Creative Reuse. Leigh’s hobbies include illustration, fiber crafts, sewing, vintage jewelry/artifact collection, and gardening. Her favorite sections of the shop include the vintage and fabric sections. Check out her work on Instagram: illustrations @leighyostwillz and fiber ventures @leighknits.
