Director of Sustainable Practice | Associate
AIA, CPHC
MSR Design's director of sustainable practice, Simona is a sustainability expert who specializes in energy, materials, high-performance assemblies, and implementing the AIA Framework for Design Excellence into the workflow of architectural practice. She has completed LEED, B3, and Living Building Challenge Petal certifications and has consulted on facilities recommendations for multi-building owners to achieve sustainable built environment transformations. Simona currently serves on the Minnesota Buy Clean Taskforce and national AIA Materials Pledge working group, and she is cochair of the Carbon Leadership Forum Minnesota Circularity and Specification subgroups. She received a national AIA Young Architects Award in 2023.
I’m inspired by those moments when teams realize achieving 21st-century sustainable performance on their projects is within reach and decide to try something different to get there.
