I’m an inventor and social entrepreneur. My background is in engineering, arts, and sustainability. I spent several years working in the environmental non-profit sector as an educator and researcher, with a focus on climate change, energy conservation, and renewable energy. I also designed and built interactive science museum exhibits on these topics.

I have co-founded and continue to serve as director on three successful social enterprises that focus on creativity, sustainability and collaboration: HiVE Vancouver Society, Open Green Building Society, and Vancouver Design Nerds Society.

I earn a living as a green building expert and Principal of Recollective, a multi-disciplinary green building consulting firm I co-founded in 2006.
