Margaret Kerswill
Healthy Building Materials Specialist
Hi! I’m Margaret; my nickname is Dash.
From nearly the moment I could walk, I was the first to “dash to the door” when anyone suggested adventure awaited. I still love a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants adventure, but life has taught me that learning is an amazing adventure, too. And that’s exactly what drew me to Materially Better. I wanted to know more, do better, and share what I was learning with others. Advocating for a sustainably healthy and more equitable world through the building products that support our lives feels right—professionally and personally. And it’s definitely an adventure in new and ever-evolving information!
When I’m away from Materially Better, you can find me in the woods with a camera; sauntering up the side of a mountain; in any art museum, anywhere; digging in the dirt to grow stuff; working on home improvement projects using healthier building materials (thank you Materially Better!); on my deck at tree canopy height with my partner, a book (another avenue to adventure), and sun-seeking cats on the opposite side of the glass door; or cranking some tunes while preparing a flavorful vegan meal to share with friends. Simplicity soothes this soul.
