Holistic Design is the foundation of my business model. Designing sustainably and living holistically results exclusively in rewards. Green design influenced my career since it's beginnings in '92. As I learned first about BREAM then LEED, I found that my colleagues are helping to improve the quality of home and business with a Holistic, Sustainable Design approach. Certifying myself as a LEED Professional was only a one step in the process. Working on actual LEED projects are the next. I've been fortunate to work on many projects that have attained LEED Accreditation. Some were while working as an Interior Designer in various architectural firms. Some were as a result of working the Office for Sustainability at Harvard University.
As a Designer, my LEED projects have beem Newton North High School which gained LEED Gold Status and won an award in 2011 from the Boston Society of Architects for Design Excellence. My project for LLBean called the Stonewood Data Center won LEED Silver.
Working for Harvard's Office for Sustainability, my projects included: Kramer Lab Renovation, Kovacs Suite, Gordon Track Locker Room and Offices, and the Earth and Planetary Sciences Museum.

Half of my Career has been spent in the world of Academia. My projects have been in the Private and Public Sector: Libraries, K-12 Schools, and Universities. Listed below are all the projects that I have worked on in the past 20 years. Two projects: Bishop Feehan High School and Harvard's Book Conservation Lab both won awards.
