Linda embraces a lifestyle which includes healthful living, wholesome food, world travel and environmental awareness. Her natural sense of beauty, balance and harmony inspired her to study Critical Thinking, Feng Shui, Interior Design, and Architecture.

"Working in the field of Green Design, it is imperative that I have thorough knowledge about the products I specify, how and where they are manufactured, what happens to them when they have reached their “end of use” cycle, how the job site is managed, how much energy the completed project will draw from “the grid”, and much more."

For over 10 years Linda has worked in the building industry - remodeling and new construction - in the San Francisco Bay Area. For three and a half years she worked at Green Fusion Design Center in San Anselmo, facilitating "green" home design makeovers and educating people on methods and materials to green their projects. Besides LEED AP and CGBP certifications (see below) she has also completed the year-long San Rafael Chamber of Commerce Leadership Institute Program, as well as the Landmark Education Curriculum for Living program. She is an inspiring speaker and Green Design and Materials Expert. Some of her speaking engagements include:

• Green Fusion Design Center, San Anselmo
• Canada College Green Design Fair, Redwood City
• Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising
• Golden Gate School of Feng Shui
• IIDA Sustaining Edge, San Francisco

About LEED

LEED - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™ - is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEED provides a roadmap for measuring and documenting success for every building type and phase of a building lifecycle.

LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and familiarity with LEED requirements, resources, and processes, and demonstrate a superior level of green design and expertise. This credential is given by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), the foremost authority on Green Building.
