In this photo I am holding a tape measure and a pen. Essentials for measuring kitchens, bathrooms and other nooks and crannies you might want to nudge some cabinets into! If you look into my purse, car, closet…you’ll probably find a tape measure.
At Ecohome, I meet with clients on Saturdays to get them started with their kitchen or bath project. I help the customer discover their personal style, and then I make that fit their budget. Starting from a wood specie, countertop, tile or wall color you love, we build from there to create a beautiful, customized space.
Once we stop caring about the environment, we begin to destroy it. In an age of consumption, we must carefully choose what, where and how we will consume. Asking these very basic questions on an individual level is the starting point for change. All the small things add up. Many of my eco points are made by my strict vegan lifestyle which I have been maintaining for 7+ years. I am crazy about Berkeley Bowl’s organic produce and keep my distance from any heavy packaging. I believe in reusing. I am a regular at the thrift store and my current garbage can is a recycled cat liter container.
Outside of Ecohome, I attend film school and enjoy running, climbing, camping and swimming (lakes & rivers are a must. I’m from Tahoe). I also love Capoeira, dancing, dinner parties and films (studying, watching and making).
