Green Design Girl is Mariela Campo :: Green Interior + Set Designer.

I've been working on + off camera for TV design shows on HGTV, TLC and BBC for the last few years. As a result, I’m constantly sourcing new green + sustainable products for TV show sets and private interior design projects. I'm sharing some of my fave eco.design finds here. The style, selection and quality of green products today is fortunately evolving rapidly, giving us a lot of modern, cutting edge and beautiful options to work with. If you should come across a cool eco.chic find, I’d love to hear about it at greendesigngirl [at] gmail.com. If you're the designer or retailer, please specify why the product is authentically green.

Wow

It’s a whole new world for Green Design Girl. After years of waiting to be able to use AutoCad on a Mac [an essential program for all Interior Designers + Architects], I heard that it was finally possible. So I jumped at the chance to buy my very first Mac and I’m loving it so far, but like I said, it’s a whole new world…. just adjusting to all of the new eye candy on my desktop and trying to learn so many new things at once. I’m in total Mac immersion this weekend.

It’s also my first time using Safari and I couldn’t help but CRINGE when I saw the way my blog looked on it. More specifically, the text at the very top. The sentences seem to be all over the place and not a justified block as I had intended them to be — they looked totally fine on my rickety PC laptop while in Windows and IE mode.

Maybe it’s just the unfamiliar settings on the Mac…? …but if any of you have noticed bizarre word placement at the top of my blog, please be kind and let me know. I may just lose sleep over it. Well, not really, but hell, I can’t help but prefer a clean aesthetic. It’s in my designer genes. I know many of my fellow tumblrs will comprehend. ;-)

[edit: in case you’re interested, AutoCad can be run on a Mac using Parallels or Bootcamp]
