Lu is a born and raised Philadelphian with an invested interest in healing the relationship between people and the natural world.

As a natural builder, by way of sustainable means and methods, Lu has had hands in projects to create education centers, greenhouses, cob ovens, tiny homes, etc., both locally and in the American Southwest, California, Hawaii, and elsewhere, occasionally teaching workshops on the subject. As a promoter of sustainability and the use of renewable resources, Lu has trained in solar energy design/installation and energy-efficient home design. Lu has long had an overarching focus on space and placemaking, home and hearth, growth, and change. She is also a licensed real estate agent, property rehabber, manager, and an active advocate of larger-scale food production in our urban communities. She has worked with The Village and Philly Earth in various capacities since 2014.
