Involved with art and architecture since birth,

she was raised in a co-operative community established in the 1930’s, based on the Bauhaus Movement and designed by Louis Kahn.

 

Her teenage years were spent in the Middle East and Europe, where she graduated from the International School in Geneva, Switzerland.

 

After studying architecture at Cornell University and interior design at UCLA, she worked for Hirsch Bedner in Los Angeles and Warner and Grey in Santa Barbara, specializing in large commercial projects, including hotels, museums and country clubs.

 

After the birth of her son, she established ARCHITECTURE BEFRIENDING CHILDREN, specializing in environments for children,

including Santa Barbara‘s Kid’s World, Waldorf

and Montecito Union Schools as well as private residences.

 

Since receiving her Master’s degree from

California College of the Arts and graduating from the Environmental Forum of Marin,  she has expanded the emphasis of her practice to include sustainable design and enlightened environments for home, business, school and community as well as the IMAGINE PLAYSHOPS.

 

Most recently, as a member of Marin Conservation League, she is addressing the current challenges facing society by revisiting Cluster Planning, designed and introduced by her father, urban planner Myron X. Feld in 1959, as a prototype for new development in Raritan Township, NJ.
