About Me

My name is Zeke Bender, and I am passionate about creating sustainable solutions that harmonize beautifully with the breathtaking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. This region is not just my home; it's a source of inspiration that fuels my work every day. With a background as a USGBC Member, a permaculture design certificate, and a LEED Green Associate, I’ve devoted my career to promoting environmental stewardship and enhancing the natural beauty of our communities. My journey into the world of sustainability began with a deep appreciation for nature and a strong commitment to making a positive environmental impact.

When starting Sustaina Cascadia, I wanted to specialize in innovative design and consulting services that prioritize sustainability. I work closely with clients to understand their unique visions and bring those ideas to life, ensuring that every project reflects our shared commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s a cozy garden retreat, an eco-friendly home, or a public space that encourages community interaction, I believe that together, we can create vibrant environments that enhance our surroundings and foster a healthier planet. Each project is a chance to create something special that resonates not only with the landscape but also with the people who inhabit it.

When I’m not working on exciting projects, you can find me exploring the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. I love hiking through our lush forests, tending to my own garden, and soaking in the beauty that surrounds us. I’m also passionate about advocating for environmental initiatives within my community, whether it’s through workshops, volunteer work, or simply spreading the word about sustainable practices. I am genuinely excited to share my passion for sustainability and design with you, and I can’t wait to collaborate on your next project to create something beautiful together that leaves a lasting impact on our planet!
