June Member Spotlight: Lynn Feinstein
When did you realize that you wanted to become an interior designer?
I wanted to make a change from my career in apparel and footwear design. I was considering opening a retail shop to sell sustainably manufactured product, but I felt there was too much stuff out there already. I attended a Master Recycler certification through the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability in Portland, Oregon. The Bureau had a campaign called "Be Resourceful," and it sparked the idea for my business; I can offer a Resourceful Interior Decorating service, starting with the items people already own to create their dream space, and enhancing it with mindfully manufactured product where needed.
