Green Building Institute

Written By Rachel Waldron

Getting certified as a green or sustainable designer is fantastic. It shows motivation and commitment to a goal of making our world better and safer for our own and future generations. However, the problem with certification is that one takes a few classes or crams for an exam, then it’s done.

At Waldron Designs our goal was to belong to a group that offered ongoing education and continual opportunities for improvement. Belonging to an institute that provides regular educational possibilities allows us to keep up with sustainability changes in the home over time, always keeping it fresh in our minds.

Waldron Designs was founded by Rachel Waldron (that’s me!). in 2013.

I am so happy designing that it is not unusual to catch me in a giggle as I rev up to do my work. I think of my designs the way that I think of my children- each is unique and has their own personality. It is my job to nurture them and help them grow, not define them.

I got my bachelor's degree in interior design from Washington State University - a CIDA-accredited school - in 2005, immediately moved into a leadership position and have continued designing with passion.

I received my MBA in Marketing in 2012 and launched Waldron Designs in 2013. When I am not designing, you will find me enjoying my precious time with my husband and two spectacular children.
