Jeremy Faludi (LEED AP) is a sustainable design strategist and researcher. He teaches green design at Stanford University, where he created the graduate/undergraduate class ME221: Green Design Tools and Metrics, and at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design; he also designs modular green building systems at Project FROG. He has worked for Rocky Mountain Institute, The Biomimicry Institute, and the Lawrence
Berkeley National Labs, among others. A bicycle he helped design has appeared in the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and he was a finalist in the 2007 California Cleantech Open competition. In 2008 he was a juror for Dell's ReGeneration green computing competition.
In addition to his design work, he writes for Worldchanging.com and
is one of the many authors of Worldchanging:
A User's Guide for the 21st Century. He also contributed to the books Packaging Sustainability by Wendy Jedlicka and Eco-labels: Concerns and Experiences by Asha B. Joshi; his eco-label also appears in the book Green Graphic Design by Brian Dougherty. He has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle, BoingBoing, Treehugger, C|Net, Sustainable Industries Journal, Package Design Magazine, GreenBiz, Australian Broadcast Corporation radio, IT Conversations, and the Secretariat of the Commonwealth of Nations' newsletter Commonwealth Today.
Jeremy is available for speaking engagements. He has spoken on green design and biomimicry at conferences, schools, and businesses around the world, including Mattel, Arup, Doors
of Perception in Delhi, the Better
World Business Forum in Paris, Technische Universiteit Delft in the
Netherlands, ArquinFAD in Barcelona, the IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference, SolidWorks World, the National Library of Medicine, Sustainable Innovation, Antioch University, Simon Fraser University, San Jose State University, University of California Berkeley, Emily Carr University in Canada, O'Reilly's Foo Camp, and ETech.
Originally trained as a physicist at Reed College, he spent some time in the semiconductor industry before getting his masters in product design at Stanford. Although too frenetic to be tied down to a short list of interests, his main dalliances outside of design are photography, dance, and several flavors of performance, some of which involve fire. (Those are usually the biggest hits at parties.)
