RETHINK DESIGN

I am a Norwegian-trained architect and founder of ReThink Design. I grew up in Trondheim, Norway and graduated with a Master's degree from the Oslo School of Architecture in 1990. In Norway I worked on designs for many different types of projects ranging from hospitals and schools to residential homes... In 1998 I went for a summer retreat at a Zen center in California for the summer. It wasn't part of the plan but there I fell in love, decided to stay, married, and started a family. Since 2002 our family of four people (me, Christopher, our children Lars and Eva), a dog, and a cat has lived on Vashon Island, Washington in Puget Sound... On Vashon, we started Still Sitting Meditation Supply, an online business, making and selling high quality meditation cushions and Buddhist robes (stillsitting.com). Even though this is a great job, I missed working as an architect. Once our children reached school age I turned the reins of Still Sitting over to Chris and founded ReThink Design.
