Kimberly King
Director of Engineering
Out Think The Box is the brainchild of Kimberly King, a renewable energy engineer, hope addict, and trimethylxanthine addict, who likes solving spherical cow problems. Kimberly obtained her BSc in mathematics, engineering mathematics, minoring in biology.
And now equipped with an engineering post-graduate degree in renewable energy systems technology from the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) at Loughborough University in the Midlands of the UK, she brings her direct experience and knowledge as an engineer and scientist into the urban environment. Developing everyday brilliance for disaster resilience.

Agostinho Miguel Garcia
Chief of Development & Engineering
Agostinho Miguel holds a MSc in Physics Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal, completing his thesis on solar power.
Agostinho has more than 15 years of technical experience as the principal consultant of SunBD (Business Development). SunBD provides wind, solar, geothermal, and hydrokinetic project solutions, and support. As a seasoned professional, Agostinho has international experience in 5 continents and over 20 countries. His professional work experience includes Siemens, AoSol, Ausra (acquired by Areva Solar), and with SunBD, which he co-founded.
Agostinho's work includes solar consulting for investors, banks, funds, EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) companies, governments, multi-lateral development institutions, and solar manufacturers. Additionally, he is an expert in solar parks development in India and South Africa. Agostino picked the name Sun for his consultancy, because all renewable forms of energy come directly or indirectly from the Sun.
Specialities: due diligence, feasibility studies, bankability, basic and detailed engineering, energy efficiency, sustainable development
Dr. Laurence Steijger
Lead Engineer
Laurence received his Eng.D. Renewables from the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) at Loughborough University in the Midlands of the UK. As an electrical engineer, his main field of study is in system integration of renewable energy systems.
Properties, either domestic or commercial, are usually not designed with the energy cost/usage and carbon footprint in mind. Laurence's aim is to reduce your energy consumption/carbon footprint, whilst increasing the comfort level of your properties. As Laurence likes to say, "Warm feet and low bills."
Specialties: energy saving, optimum resource usage, renewables
Lindsay Leveen
Director of Strategy
Lindsay has worked with and consulted to major corporations in areas of energy deregulation, fuel cells, biotech, telecommunication, alternate fuels, power generation, transmission and distribution, as well as a variety of other process based technologies.
Lindsay has held executive position in strategic planning and sustainable development at Fortune 500 companies. Lindsay has lectured at leading universities and numerous industry conferences. Lindsay also writes for the Ark Newspaper in Tiburon, California.
Lindsay has a knack to simplify and explain thermodynamics in everyday terms. Lindsay studied thermodynamics for his graduate thesis in Chemical Engineering at Iowa State University. He is a recipient of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AiChe) Professional Development award for his lifetime of achievement in chemical engineering. Those who break the laws of thermodynamics are punished with the Gangrene Award, Green Lies Matter.
Specialties: strategic planning, due diligence, business development, engineering, energy, sustainable development, project management
