SAVED FROM
THE SHELF
WHAT IS FOUND & MADE?
Somebody had to see the potential.
FOUND & MADE started with a simple problem: Madi has a very hard time leaving weird things at the thrift store.
An old cassette case? Keep it. A tiny vintage frame? Obviously. A forgotten box with beautiful details? There HAS to be something we can do with that.
So instead of letting those little treasures collect dust, we give them a new life—turning forgotten objects into keepsakes, gifts, and useful little things you’ll actually want to keep.
JUST FOUND
THE LATEST FOUND
Small batches. Strange finds. One-of-a-kind ideas.
THE FIRST LITTLE COLLECTION
MEMORY CASES
A tiny home for the things you can’t bring yourself to throw away. Every repurposed cassette case begins as an overlooked object, then gets a new purpose—and a little bit of your story.

THE FOUND → MADE PROCESS
A very scientific process.
Sort of.

HAVE SOMETHING YOU CAN’T THROW AWAY?
Maybe it’s an old piece of your childhood. Maybe it’s something that belonged to someone you love. Maybe it’s just something wonderfully weird.
Tell me what you’ve got. We’ll figure out what it could become.

No fake founder portrait here—just an honest placeholder until Madi shares one.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE GLUE GUN
HI, I’M MADI.
I’ve always been the person who sees potential in things that probably should have been left alone.
I love old things, little details, sentimental objects, crafting, thrifting, and making something beautiful out of whatever happens to be sitting in front of me.
FOUND & MADE is basically what happens when you combine all of that with a camera, a glue gun, and an inability to walk past a weird thrift-store find.
