About Entropy Design LLC
Welcome to Entropy Design LLC, which I founded after working in Architecture, Planning, and Environmental Consulting for 48 years. I’m glad to offer my clients the benefit of five decades experience, delivering practical solutions that advance both client objectives and planetary health. I collaborate with a wide range of industry experts to develop unique solutions and offer professional consulting services in three broad categories - master planning, project consulting, and education and training.
Entropy Design LLC focuses on regenerative design that seeks to restore the environment, as opposed to sustainability which merely does less harm. That requires a completely different mindset and acknowledges that although we don’t yet have all the answers, we are committed to searching for them. My goal is constant improvement, with every project implementing strategies that build on and move beyond what has been done before.
If you are facing a uniquely wicked problem related to the built environment, please feel free to contact me. I love the challenge of thinking about those and developing solutions that work, at least until the next wicked problem comes along.

Our Mission in Regenerative Design
Regenerative design aims to move beyond sustainable solutions by not only minimizing harm to the environment but actively contributing to its restoration and regeneration. By embracing principles that prioritize ecological health, social well-being, and economic vitality, regenerative design strives to create lasting, positive impacts that benefit current and future generations. Through thoughtful planning, innovation, and integration, regenerative design enables us to begin the process of undoing centuries of environmental damage.
