“The discoveries and thrill of making something that most people never have the courage to attempt is invigorating,” Marmol says. “The objects we live with and live in are inherently more valuable if we design them to support our lifestyle with dignity. Do that with all of the elements in the home, and you gain a greater appreciation for life.”
