Greetings!


I'm working with the owner of a start-up company (
www.shapingenvironments.com) in Vancouver, WA.  Our business model is highly
dependent on creating an outstanding user experience through our web site
and other social media tools.

A New Perspective For A New Environment!

Shaping Environments was established by industry veterans as a resource
dedicated to the entrepreneurs, consultants, and firms who build the world
we live in. We're headquartered in America's Pacific Northwest, with an
online reach to clients and consultants that extends worldwide.



A Philosophy For Convening Minds!

The industry is changing. Projects are becoming more complex. The
disciplines serving them are becoming more specialized. It's important, now
more than ever, that the various professionals within our built environment
become more aware of each other and the roles that each plays.



Shaping Environments is designed to promote that cross-discipline
interaction and provide the resources to help its members stay on top of
their industry and efficiently find projects, find professionals or build
teams of any size, in any geographic location.
