JAN ELIZABETH LANDWEHR– Co-Founder, Innovation Manager, Chief Editor & Artist

Jan is an ‘Ecopreneur’, a self-proclaimed ‘Job Innovation Advocate’, and a seasoned Recruitment Consultant who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas and a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship from the University of New Hampshire. She currently lives in the suburban foothills of the Watchung Mountains – General George Washington’s favorite hideout during the War for American Independence. Being a 13th generation American, descendant of the Founding Fathers of New England and New Amsterdam, and a sprinkle of Quaker financiers, Jan integrates that old adage “Everything Old is New Again” into her own ‘upcycling’ and ‘collecting’ lifestyle – from Cistercian Architecture to ‘Yankee Barn Homes’ – from Arabic Spice Boxes to ‘Bath & Body Works’ – from Knickerbocker Coffee Grinders to ‘Starbuck’s Espresso Mugs’ – and from Medieval Tapestries to ‘McCartney’s’ Recycled Handbags. Jan’s passions are flea markets, architectural salvage yards, artisanal crafts, and eco-tourism.
