Hi, I’m Enrique, founder of @oddconserva and long-time specimen collector. My journey into the world of specimens and preservation began from a young age during a visit to the local science museum in LA. I’ve since spent years exploring, growing, learning and collecting. Building a personal collection naturally led to a foray into the community, helping me realize the demand for my expertly curated specimens. I began collecting, trading and selling, dealing only with pieces that I wouldn’t hesitate to have as part of my personal collection - quality has always been the reigning priority and the up-and-coming generation of shoppers searching for sustainability and style want the same from me. I hunt far and wide locally, online, museums, schools and from other private collectors, sourcing what I believe to be the finest pieces circulating amongst collectors.
