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.

::Brief Hiatus::

It seems that as the weather gets sticky, so does my schedule. I’m definitely not complaining, as I’ve been looking forward to this Summer of overdosing on a variety of design projects — from TV and print, to interior projects and hours of green design research.

2008 has been my busiest year so far. So of course, it was also the year I chose to start this beloved tumblr of mine. Green Design Girl is essentially a fun and worthwhile hobby for me, but it sadly suffers when I’m up to my eyeballs in off-line green design projects.

So for the next few weeks, while I’m racking up 75hr work weeks of design at a time, and many of you will be tumblin’ along and enjoying the sun [hopefully more of the latter], I’m giving GDG a short rest. It’s either that or teach my Gemini twin how to blog while I sleep. Which could actually be an interesting show to pitch to Discovery…

Given the great products I’ve come across over the last few weeks, along with the hot tips I’ve received via e.mail, I’ll be raring to go when I’m back.

In the mean time, if you’re looking for your green design fix, be sure to browse the 300+ posts in the GDG Article Index.
