JUNK RAIDERS - CAST PROFILE "Michelle Mawby"

JUNK RAIDERS CAST PROFILE: Michelle Mawby

Michelle is a high end interior designer who admits that her business is wasteful, but yet does nothing to counter her industry's wasteful ways. She has no problem tearing out perfectly good new material to make way for what she considers even better and newer goods. She has high end, very particular tastes and a matching sense of style, and won't settle for anything less.

Freecycling – a thriving, do-it-yourself subculture – is about finding things for free, then finding innovative ways to recycle them, either into their original form or into something different altogether. As the JUNK RAIDERS experiment officially begins, the freecyclers and the wasters get their first taste of what’s in store for them as they hit the streets of Toronto in search for everything they need, including building supplies, electronics, furniture and appliances.

The loft itself is 1,600 square feet. For perspective, the general contractor on the team quoted $150,000 to complete the job. The team’s budget: $5,000. Read the full story here...

Lucid Interior Design blog launched January 2009 to cover news, updates and media activities for this Toronto-based firm. Coverage will include promotional events and projects for Lucid and the media hosting activities and industry presentations by principal designer, Michelle Mawby. Michelle has guest-hosted such shows as Global TV's "Room to Grow", and has been an invited speaker at events such as the Toronto Home Show. In Fall 2009, Michelle will be seen as one of the cast members of "Junk Raiders" on The Discovery Channel. The only female cast member, and the only interior designer, Michelle and a group of "freecyclers", and tradespeople were taken into seclusion for 30 days and given an amazing design challenge to solve. Lucid Interior Design has also just been invited to create a special Grand Marnier sponsored room design at the upcoming Interior Design Show, Feb. 4-9, 2009 in Toronto, Ont.
