My name is Mariana Pickering. I’m an architectural designer, a LEED Accredited Professional and Emu’s website administrator.
My role within Emu Architects covers a wide range of activities, including concept renderings, preliminary architectural design, and selection of finishes. I have a specialty in LEED Building Design and Construction projects, and will soon be focusing on an Italian-specific GBC Home accreditation.
I have the pleasure of pursuing some of our more innovative design research paths (such as green roofs and xeriscaping).
Lastly, I am also responsible for creating and maintaining this website, as well as our other forms of publicity, both on and offline.

- Master of Design Science in Sustainable Design (University of Sydney, Australia)
- Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (Washington University in St. Louis, USA)
Honors:
- LEED Accredited Professional, specialization in Building Design + Construction (USGBC and GBC Italia)
