For 15 years off and on, Paul Adams battled a heroin addiction. Now he’s trying to make a change — and his employer, Purposeful Design, is helping him achieve that goal.
“I disrupted a lot of people’s lives who were doing good, they weren’t on drugs,” Adams said.
Adams started working at Purposeful Design earlier this year. The furniture he makes is sold to universities. airports, hospitals and businesses. Over and over he heard them say they were looking for a job. That’s where the idea and passion for Purposeful Design, which launched eight years ago, stems from.
Purposeful Design hopes to eventually replicate its model across the country. Palmer says the world needs it.
