I am a designer who is passionate about the environment. Currently I am working in a company I founded, SoloBee. We manufacture shelters for solitary native bees, which is a great combination of my skills and passion, nature and craft. I received my architect’s license ten years ago, but I wanted to do work specifically to restore the environment.
