Joy Hirshberg

Joy lives breathes, and dreams design—whether designing a beautiful new home, restoring a charming old farmhouse, or replicating a stunning Frank Lloyd Wright fireplace. Her love for design and building traces to her teenage years when she was a National 4-H Home Improvement Winner. Prior to founding Green Building Supply, Joy worked 10 years in Michigan government, with six years as Executive Director of the Michigan Consumers Council, the state's consumer advocacy agency. Her slogan, "Good consumer information is good business," inspired the development of GBS's information-dense website and popular eco advisor service. Today, Joy researches and field test new non-toxic products. She also edits the countless information pages on the GBS website.
