France Guertin

Environmental Engineer (Raleigh, NC)

France is a multi-disciplined environmental engineer with over twenty years of experience in renewable energy, chemical manufacturing and an engineering consulting business. Her trademark has been to build innovation and create a desire to change our industrial world into one that fits in with Nature.

​

France is always growing her sphere of knowledge and experience, and she has recently added biomimicry to her toolbox. She brings to the team, not only her knowledge of the science of chemistry and the practical aspect of chemical processing, but also the practice of Life Cycle Assessment. This ensures that, for as a product designer, the cradle-to-cradle approach is integrated within the design process. To stay positive in her views of the human world, France shares her passion about Nature with children by directing an eco-school program in which she integrates biomimicry and environmental sciences with the practice of yoga.
