Her constant thirst for knowledge, in all cutting-edge, technologies and practices enrich her as a designer, a consultant and educator.  These elements provide an understanding and application of the nuances that distinguish her in her trade.

She is a current member of the USGBC and on the advisory board of The Green Beacon in Los Angeles.  She partnered with Creative Citizen to launch Eco Matters Daily.

Her broad education, experience, and travels have provided her with a profound understanding of culture and aesthetic – facilitating an innate capacity in design.

Currently, she is writing a reference book for the Interior Design industry and publishing articles on Ecological Lifestyle and Design in addition to educating on the importance of integrating resilience into our ways of living.

Astrid participated in the second annual Social Entrepreneurship Panel at Pepperdine University in Malibu, spoke on Green Building at NYU/Poly in Brooklyn and hosted ‘Creating an Eco-logical Home’ panel at Go Green Expo in Los Angeles 2009 and 2010.  Astrid spoke on Designing for a New Era at MiaGreen in Miami Beach and most recently spoke on Water Wisdom at Green Festival in San Francisco.

With education being at the core of all change, she strongly believes that in continuing to cultivate herself and share that knowledge, she can help facilitate inspiration, thought, and  ultimately, positive change.
