Efficiency Electrification Embodied carbon

Education Research Advocacy

After earning a B.S. in architecture at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, I soon started my own business, Design AVEnues, and designed 100+ home remodels. Along the way I learned a whole lot about residential construction, but there was always something missing – I wanted to work on environmental solutions. So in the early 90s, before green building even had a name, I went back to school and earned an M.Arch. at UC Berkeley, focusing on energy, materials, and housing – the same core passions that drive me today.

Every project I undertake is guided by my quest to find the next big lever that will help shift the building industry, our communities, and our world to a safe, equitable, and sustainable future.
