Nancy Giangeruso has been in the industry for five years and for the past two she has been running her own business Build It Create It Design It, a one-stop-shop for design needs in construction.

Located in Hermosa Beach, California his family’s home is a valuable case study in whether, and how, sustainable design practices are affordable and doable for today’s homeowners.
