Miriam has extensive experience in consulting on a range of building types. Currently, she is most interested in taking on single-family residential projects (i.e., homes) and mixed-use planning and development projects. She occasionally provides green consultations for other types of projects, when time permits. (Note: Miriam is not an architect or designer, so she does not provide technical design, drafting, or drawing review services.)

If you are looking for a LEED consultant, please note that at this time, Miriam is limiting her LEED consulting services primarily to LEED for Neighborhood Development projects and possibly some LEED for Homes projects. She can provide preliminary LEED guidance on almost any type of project, but she no longer provides full documentation coordination services.
