Sandra Dino, LEED AP
Director of Sustainable Interiors
Upon graduating from Brooks College design school, Sandra began her career as a concept designer for fast food restaurants. Designing a concept was fun, but she yearned to detail, construct and build the supportive documents that would make a concept come to life.
Sandra spent several years in Boston as a commercial/retail designer and project manager. Projects included Thomas Weisel Partners, Siebel, and Au Bon Pain. While her objective includes demystifying the myths that surround sustainable building, her specialty lies in no/low cost approaches to green building.
