About
This was my favorite outfit in 1990.
|
I am an architectural designer with PIVOT Architecture. I have a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon and a bachelors of Environmental Studies from Oberlin College. The search for sustainable ways to live has driven my career from working with IceStone to reformulate their product line to meet MBDC’s Cradle to Cradle Gold Rating, to working with Recode to legalize composting toilets in the state of Oregon. My inquisitive, research based approach to learning and sharing has led me to work with some incredible people and organizations.
