While earning her Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture, Micaela developed a passion for preserving and honoring the culture and landscape in the Desert. As a designer, it became important to find solutions that can connect people to nature and have positive impacts on our well-being and on the environment. She is the owner of Old Pueblo Hemp Co, in Tucson, AZ which specializes in Hemp Block Construction. Old Pueblo Hemp Co has developed their own Hemp block press and have recently completed a 16,300 block order for The Cooper Center for Environmental Learning in Tucson, AZ. These blocks will insulate existing sleeping cabins from the exterior and give the kids a Non-Toxic, Comfortable, Beautiful Healing space all while learning about the Sonoran Desert and the Power of Hemp.
