Addendum to Kristi's Bio

Hey everyone, this is J.B.
I have to apologize to Kristi because she sent me her bio about 2 weeks ago and I forgot to post it to the blog. I was cleaning out my inbox and found it. I will post it here as an addendum to the brief bio she posted below (probably while cursing me). Sorry Kristi!

Kristi Reed Bio:

I grew up in Indiana and was encouraged by my family to travel and experience life to the fullest. I developed a strong passion for art, design and architecture at a young age and continue to study, explore and practice in this field. I attended Savannah College of Art & Design and relocated to San Francsico after graduating in 2001. San Francisco and Northern California have provided adequate stomping grounds for my burning curiosities around nature, exploration, the outdoors, environmental studies and health. I've successfully integrated these interests into my design career. I am a Sr.Architectural Designer at a small high-end residential Interior Design firm. I spend most of my days designing custom furniture, lighting, architectural detailing, etc. I have spent the past two-years transforming our processes into "sustainable" concepts and enjoy educating my colleagues in the design community about Sustainable Design. I completed my certificate degree in Sustainable Design at UC Berkeley a year ago and am considering attending the Presidio Graduate School next year...maybe. I've been volunteering my time in the local community both as a willing and able body and moreso as a designer. I've designed a school and dormitory for homeless & underserved youth, which is yet to be implemented. And I donate my time to Architecture for Humanity on various community projects around the Bay Area. And I LOVE to travel!! As grounded and committed as I am here, I try my hardest to pick up and see the world as much as possible! I've traveled to Turkey, Australia, Japan, Peru, Costa Rica and more... Never to SE Asia, so I am thrilled to have this opportunity!! And moreso I am looking forward to meeting you all and sharing this experience with you.
