Ainslie Kincross
Former Growing Dome Advisor
Growing Spaces
Ainslie was a Dome Advisor at Growing Spaces from 2020 to 2022, helping prospective customers think through how a Growing Dome would fit their site, climate, and goals. The role drew on her background in architecture: her prior work centered on connecting people with nature, including project design on LEED-certified buildings in Wyoming.
She joined the company in March 2020, just as the pandemic was pushing people to think harder about local self-reliance and the natural world. Outside of work, she's usually somewhere on a mountain trail.I started here in March of 2020, just as the pandemic hit the U.S. and we all had to wake up to becoming more locally self-reliant, more tuned into the natural world, and to each other as fellow-travelers on this beautiful planet. As an architect, I was the project designer on a number of LEED-certified buildings in Wyoming, and I’ve always had connecting people with nature as a guiding purpose in my work. I believe our collective human role now is restorative and regenerative, and Growing Spaces has been participating in that for over 25 years! When I’m not here, you’ll find me on a mountain trail.
