Victoria Everman’s Summary

I think of myself as a creatively versatile eco-powerhouse. Freelance writer, life-long model, on-camera personality, public speaker, official U.S. spokesperson for Twice Shy Clothing - I’m a classic Renaissance woman and mistress-of-all-trades.

Though my days of growing up in the corn fields of central Indiana are behind me, forgetting where I came from is not an option. I lost my father unexpectedly in March of 2006, months before moving from NYC to San Francisco, which helped to amplify my zest for life and thirst to help change the world.

Perpetually looking for fresh ways to share my unquenchable green knowledge, I blog about everything eco on my own website, as well as for All Green Magazine and select others. Additionally, I am the editor/head writer of Crafting a Green World (part of the Green Options blog network) and a writer/web editor for Building Green TV. My diverse articles have been published in variety of reputable magazines, such as: Yoga Journal, Venus, CRAFT, Yogi Times, Recovery Solutions, M+F, and Office Solutions.

In my spare time, you can find me knitting, reading, singing, taking pictures, practicing yoga, taking long walks, and working on my first non-fiction book. Other random facts about me: I’m a Buddhist, latex fan, have four tattoos, and an attempting locavore.

Victoria Everman’s Experience

Web Editor

Building Green TV

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Media Production industry)

August 2007 — Present (1 year)

For more information, visit http://www.buildinggreentv.com

Building Green TV's mission is to provide homeowners with a glimpse of just how easy, cost-effective and healthy it is to go green, while dispelling the myth that an environmentally conscious lifestyle means doing without.

Through our nationally-aired TV series, Kevin takes viewers on a highly personal journey, showing them exactly what it’s like for an “ordinary guy” to make the commitment to go green.

On our website, buildinggreentv.com, we provide detailed how-to information and connect readers with resources. As fans of the social network, we also offer readers a place to share their own stories and tips, and to interact directly with Kevin himself and an ever-growing roster of self-taught green building mavens and experts alike.
Official U.S. Spokesperson

Twice Shy Clothing

(Partnership; 1-10 employees; Apparel & Fashion industry)

December 2006 — Present (1 year 8 months)

For more information, visit http://www.twice-shy.com/

TWICE SHY was born out of a personal fashion dilemma in the lives of its founder's: where to find cool, urban clothes made from organically grown and sustainable fabrics. The answer seemed to be nowhere, so they (Jen McCormack and Michael Ziff) took it upon themselves and created their own line, and TWICE SHY was born.

Jen & Michael also started TWICE SHY because they had something to say about the world around us, about politics, the ecology, fashion, music and they wanted to do it with humor, irony and a tongue in their cheeks.

TWICE SHY is out to prove to the world that SUSTAINABILITY can be SEXY.

For more information, visit http://www.liveneutral.org/

LiveNeutral gives everyone the power to stop climate change. From individuals to businesses to nonprofits to schools, we help you calculate and then neutralize your carbon emissions. By no means do we consider this The Answer to global warming. But its the best way we know of to start reducing the threat of global warming today.

When you buy a carbon-neutral certification from LiveNeutral, we buy third-party-verified and legally accountable emissions reduction credits on your behalf through the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). These reduction credits then function as an offset for your emissions. Many companies and organizations besides LiveNeutral also purchase from the CCX, but they purchase offset project credits rather than the reduction credits we purchase.

The Chicago Climate Exchange supplies the highest-quality, third-party-verified, and legally accountable emissions reductions credits available today.
