About

Emilio brings extensive green roof construction and hands-on experience to every project. His role begins immediately with bidding and project inquiries and carries through to project logistics and onsite installation. You will find him in the office but maybe most at home on a construction site, possibly driving a forklift and coordinating cranes. He has extensive experience in all sizes and types of green roofs, having designed, supervised and installed projects throughout the southeast, northeast, and western states.

Kate’s interdisciplinary educational background and professional experience in archaeology and landscape architecture inform all her work. She is keenly interested in how humans interact and connect with their environments, and she says that pushes her to “explore ideas that encourage memorable landscapes and spaces.” Kate’s design approach is sensitive, ecologically responsive and restorative. She leads the Living Roofs design team from concept through construction, ensuring that the original vision remains intact throughout the project. Kate is also Director of Design at Roots First where she works to repair the connection between people and nature.    

Over years of operating his own shop, Dustin has learned firsthand— and dealt with—the many challenges of this emerging industry. He now brings that extensive experience to Living Roof's service department and roof paver installations. Dustin understands the great potential of living wall systems, and he is an extraordinary problem solver for complex installations.
