Whole-systems ecological design for resilient and regenerative living, at any scale.
I offer strategic consultation and design services for regenerative land projects ranging from landscape-scale developments to individual properties and homes.
My passion for ecological design stems from a lifelong commitment to creating systems that restore harmony between people and the planet. I studied Environmental Science at the University of Vermont, specializing in ecological design and water resources. I apprenticed with a permaculture mentor based in Kauai, Hawaii, and earned my Permaculture Design Certificate from the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute (CRMPI).
In Colorado, I designed and built my own eco-home, starting with raw land and managing the project from concept to completion. In anticipation of the build, I completed a timber framing intensive at EcoNest Architecture in Oregon. My journey into ecovillage design began in 2015, and since then, I’ve deepened my expertise natural building methodologies, sustainable urbanism and new village development.
I also founded ReCommon, a nonprofit dedicated to adaptive bioregional governance, commons reclamation, landscape-scale regenerative land use, and community development strategies. This work also incorporated holistic digital mapping to show intricate landscape relationship dynamics and convey impact to stakeholders.
I work globally with individuals and organizations on projects of all scales, tailoring my services to the unique needs of each client. Whether you need a one-time consultation or a long-term partner, I bring the expertise and creativity to help your project thrive.
