As the daughter of a pediatric nurse practitioner and a respiratory therapist, I came to the sustainability sector as an occupant health and welfare advocate. Spending a great deal of my childhood on a sailboat informs my environmental passion. Unsatisfied with the "light" green tact of working in corporate America, I started Blue Water Studio in order to more fully practice my health and environment focused design and planning direction. I am honored to be specifically sought out for my expertise. All work comes from referrals, repeat clients and press coverage. Non-profit clients are also a specialty and honor.
