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 community 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 Miriam can provide general, early-phase LEED guidance for almost any type of project, but she no longer provides comprehensive LEED project management or documentation coordination services.
