Kate Miller Sustainable Interiors was awarded Woman Business Enterprise/Emerging Small Business status in Oregon in June 2008


Background:

As a professional artist for over five years I have cultivated dynamic color sense and style. I have been a Project Manager for the Energy Edge Program at Bonneville Power Administration. There I designed and managed a complex Pacific Northwest design/build competition with a $10 million dollar budget. This was a voluntary effort which promoted innovation through design. This resulted in thirty new commercial buildings designed and built throughout the Pacific Northwest at 30% above code.

Professional Awards: Sustained Superior Service Awards — 1985 and 1988 Bonneville Power
