Melissa Hull’s Morrison business, Upcycle Junkie, centers around interactive crafting experiences to give customers space and opportunity to create their own visions, or receive inspiration from Hull to put a new lease on life into something. “I think that crafting together creates community,” Hull said. “It’s really fun to see everyone participating, smiling and enjoying themselves. I like to provide something like that.” See story on page 3.
