Hello, fellow SDLs,
I wanted to share an opportunity for you - or those in your network - to join a passionate team of architects and designers based in Anchorage, Alaska. I'm told that you'd be asked to join the full team in Anchorage a few times a year for team building events but otherwise you can WFW (work from wherever!).
I have had the pleasure of working with several of the team members at MCG Explore Design through my role at Mindful Materials, and when they let me know they were looking for someone to take on a dedicated sustainability role, I offered to share the job opportunity with this network. If you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to Cara, whose contact information is provided below.
