While working in an intentional community Skyler became interested in the structure of housing and architecture. During that time Skyler saw the importance of architecture and how it can create community. “I wanted to do something with housing that involved a wider population instead of a small number of people who are interested in sustainable intentional communities,” said Skyler. Skyler has a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies and Arts from Denison University.
