New York City, USA: Rhea studied at Parsons School of Design. Her career followed an organic yet logical progression. She practiced architecture and industrial design while making art furniture from found objects, showing them in local NY galleries. Early on, what intrigued her was how the role of the designer can play in sustainability both from an environmental position as well as from a human perspective. She opened DIGS in 1991, determined to bridge the gap between design, handicraft, and fair-trade, using sustainable materials in an attempt to preserve artisanal handicraft. She has been consulting for the private sector and NGO's such as Aid to Artisans and USAID with the similar mission.
