AWID Members Gallery - Wendy E. Brawer

Wendy E. Brawer is an ecological designer with an artist's background. Since 1990, her New York-based company, Modern World Design, has created services and products that promote ecological stewardship, including the Green Apple Map of NYC's environmentally significant places. Under Wendy's direction, this has grown into the Green Map System, an award-winning local-global collaboration active more than 30 countries (website: www.greenmap.org). With programs for both citywide and youth mapmakers, Green Map was spun off as a separate not-for-profit organization that Wendy continues to direct.

Wendy was the 1997 Designer in Residence at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution and winner of 1998's ECO Kudos Award for Connections. Wendy has written about, spoken on and taught eco-design extensively. Inspired by renewables, she is the CO-winner (with Amelia Amon) of Liberty Science Center's 1999 SolarScape competition.

She is an active member of the O2 Global Network (US Liaisons) and chaired the Industrial Designers Society of America's Committee on Environmental Concerns in 1993-95.
