Palo Santo Designs was founded in 2001 by Mark Giorgetti . “ I started the company in Taos , a very small mountain town in northern New Mexico ,” Mark explains . “ Within a couple of years , we migrated to Santa Fe which as the state capital has a much stronger market . The basis of the company has always been design and build . We ’ ve also focused on environmentally appropriate construction methods and materials . Before starting the business , I worked with a number of general contractors who also prioritized sustainability . This coupled very well with my academic background in environmental science , having previously studied for a master ’ s degree in carbon management at the University of Edinburgh in the UK .
