"Seiko's making some great watches that are environmentally sensitive, that don't require batteries or if they do they don't have mercury, and obviously this is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. Both from a Treehugger perspective and also a LifeEdited perspective."
- Graham Hill
A consummate entrepreneur, Graham Hill has built companies including web shop SiteWerks, product company WeAreHappyToServeYou.com and TreeHugger.com. His energies are now focused on LifeEdited, a socially conscious real estate startup that is out to start a design movement around doing more with less. He studied architecture and industrial design and schemes how he can help humanity avoid rapid extinction.
Founder and CEO of LifeEdited Graham Hill brings years of visionary startup experience to all of his projects. In 1995, he helped found the early Internet consultancy firm SiteWerks, building the company to sixty people before selling to Bowne in 1998. In 2003, he married his environmental consciousness with the burgeoning online media world to launch Treehugger.com, still one of the web’s top environmental news-sites. He sold Treehugger to Discovery Networks in 2007. Graham began LifeEdited in 2010 with idea of translating the ideas of Treehugger into design and architecture. The company is working with architects to design and market a new breed of house that packs big function in small spaces. The company’s prototype apartment was hailed “The Apartment of the Future” by the New York Times and has been featured twice in that publication. It was the recipient of the AIA Honor and Architizer A+ Jury Awards, both in the interiors category. It also appeared on the Today Show, the TED Conference, Wired Magazine, Dwell and many other media outlets. In 2012, LifeEdited, as part of a team led by Jonathan Rose Companies, was chosen as a finalist in the Bloomberg administration's adAPT NYC competition, which sought out the best designs for New York City’s first micro-apartment building. Graham also sits as the CEO of wearehappytoserveyou.com, which produces a ceramic version of the iconic NYC anthora coffee mug.
