About
Dana Mortensen, Designer
Dana Mortensen, LEED AP, is the owner of Eco interiors, a design firm that provides eco-logical and stylish solutions for renovating and constructing new interiors. "Sustainable" or "Green" design is concerned with the ecological, economic, health, safety, and social impact of design, architecture, and building practices.
During her first career as a Licensed Professional Counselor for those with life-threatening illnesses, Dana realized the fragility of life and the importance of pursuing each day with passion and intention.
Encouraged to follow her artistic dreams, Dana returned to school to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in interior design from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL (FIDER Accredited). While at Ringling, Dana was one of an elite group of students selected to design an evidence-based, sustainable prototype for The Wellness Community's international cancer support facilities.
