STOKE SHORT!: Turn Trash to Treasure with Mischa Ostberg of East Mountain Designs

East Mountain Designs website@east_mountain_designs on InstagramMischa’s original Guides Gone Wild episodeHope you all managed to get out there and support a few small businesses over this past weekend, like East Mountain Designs, the micro-business my friend Mischa Ostberg has created, selling beautiful pieces of art that she crafts from recycled climbing rope and gear.Mischa’s first time on the pod was back in August of 2021, when she was a fairly new transplant to Maine and just getting her art business off the ground. It was so awesome to catch back up with her and see her so settled and successful. Mischa is still cranking out unbelievably beautiful and creative pieces, and letting her talent be the conduit for learning more about the Indigenous peoples whose homelands we occupy, with the goal of supporting these cultures with her work.A few more links you might want to check out:N’dakinna Story MapWabanaki ModernNative Land DigitalAnd make sure to check out Mischa’s piece once it’s hung at the North Conway REI Store!
