Midwestern vibes, nature-enthusiast, and a curious wanderer. This is Lost & Found Design founded by Tara Tonsor.

“I started this company in 2006, taking apart found jewelry, hand-me-down items like my grandmother's charm bracelet, and thrift store sales. I remember enjoying the thrill of finding rocks or seashells that had the perfect hole to attach to a chain.

Five years later, I discovered laser cutting. Blending my graphic design & illustration degrees, I translated my hand-drawn artwork into new technology techniques.

Using natural materials such as wood, leather, and bronze paired with modern design, Lost & Found Design has now branched from jewelry into home goods. I can also work with custom designs, and can personalize items you see listed.

Happily stumbling along in my sketchbook, I am encouraged by nature's never-ending rhythm of lines, patterns, and geometry. My muse is outside.”
