| Introduction | I've long had a fascination with spatial relations, from my sandbox days building roads & villages, graduating to woodland groves where I created rooms from rocks, twigs, pine needles. Oddly enough, I ended up studying Civil Engineering, which did give me an excellent background for structures. Seven years later, I designed & built a passive solar octagon w/ a 5 sided roof on my 13 acres in Guilford. I still live there, still love it. A couple years later, I decided to pursue Landscape Architecture/Regional Planning, lots of history, theory, studio, model making. After graduating, I went into business for myself as a landscape designer/builder for about 20 years, a profession I took great pride in. Until 2012, I worked as a Realtor in Vermont. Through this work, I was fortunate to see so many different houses & styles, some kept to historic integrity, some sadly disfigured by tasteless and shoddy modifications. It was a wonderful opportunity to exercise my on-the-spot design skills as I visualized the real potential. Now, I am onto something new...an amalgamation of all my passions, working for myself while working with others, sharing ideas and ideals. |
