| Since founding the firm in 1986, Cathy has developed her skills | |||||||||
| for carefully listening to clients to understand their needs and | |||||||||
| help build consensus with larger groups. Working with the | |||||||||

| another aspect of her work. | |||||||||
| Cathy's focus is on the environmental aspects of the firm's | |||||||||
| designs. She was chair of the OAA’s Committee on the | |||||||||
| Environment and part of the working group for the greening of | |||||||||
| worship spaces with Faith and the Common Good. | |||||||||

| CBIP grant for the Unitarian Congregation project for energy | |||||||||
| efficiency, as well as a REDI grant for the solar thermal collectors | |||||||||
| for the supportive housing project on Delaware. | |||||||||
| Recent projects include the Carrot Common green roof and the | |||||||||
| design of the bio-retention swale at the Unitarian Church. | |||||||||
