Meredith Moore

Meredith Moore founded Ouroboros Deconstruction as the culmination of years-long passion for adaptive reuse and sustainability and first-hand experience within the spheres of architecture, design, construction and demolition. Recognizing the underutilization and lack of appreciation for existing materials coupled with contemporary society’s throw-away culture, she realized that a shift in perspective was desperately overdue. Moore has made it her mission, both privately and professionally, to help people better understand just how much high-quality, salvageable material already exists and the value in its reuse. Moore studied the history of art and architecture at Brown University in Providence, RI, with an emphasis on preservation, and obtained her Masters of Interior Design from New York’s Parsons School of Design. She has worked in the fields of interior design, luxury residential development, and material specification and research. Meredith lives and works in Toronto; when she is not salvaging wood from demo sites, nothing makes her happier than spending time with her husband and two young children.
