drafting & design

Born and raised in Southern California, Todd Shwayder’s rich connection to nature can be traced back to his childhood spent surfing, rock climbing, scuba diving and river kayaking. After studying and practicing conventional architecture and construction he felt it necessary to pursue conscious design and building practices with the health of people and our planet at it’s core. He went on to gain experience with straw bale, cob, natural paints and plasters, super adobe, and timber framing.

Todd received his Masters Degree in Environment and Community at Antioch University enriching his passion for planetary stewardship with tools for mobilizing communities into action with a focus on permaculture, system dynamics, and organizational development. Solidarity culture and community are ever-present in Todd’s day-to-day.

Over the past few years, Todd has deepened his understanding of how to build the healthiest environments possible by working with clients suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivites and motivated to maintin a low carbon footprint. Todd has been NCARB certified with only the California Supplemental Exam to go. After licensure, Todd is interested in certifications for Building Biology Environmental Consulting and Building Sciences.
