Bio

I am passionate about environmental issues and have been even before the first Earth Day.  I am now able to meld that passion with my business and hopefully make some small contribution to helping save the planet.  Because of my business I constantly read about and research environmental issues, eco-friendly products, technology and innovative design.  I integrate all of this knowledge into my designs and try to create living and working environments that are as green as possible given the state of the art and design.

I am also very interested in social justice and fair trade issues.  For me "green" includes being concerned about the working conditions of individuals that make or manufacture building materials, fabrics, flooring, clothing etc. as well as whether or not these individuals are paid a fair wage so they can provide for themselves or their families.

I also am a very positive person and I love my life.  I like to have fun whether I am working or playing and try not to take everything too seriously. 

 

Personal slogan or motto

If you want eco - at least be chic about it.
