Jeremy Faludi

Jeremy Faludi is a freelance product designer and researcher, specializing in eco-design. He has worked for Rocky Mountain Institute, The Biomimicry Institute, and the Applications Team at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, among others. A bicycle he helped design has appeared in the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. He also does conventional design and engineering for other clients, and is a lecturer in the product design program at Stanford University.

Jeremy has spoken on green design and biomimicry at conferences, schools, and businesses around the world, including 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, the National Library of Medicine, Antioch University, Simon Fraser University, San Jose State University, Arup, and Foo Camp.

His articles have been printed in Samsung's DigitALL magazine, TAXI Design Network, and the Secretariat of the Commonwealth of Nations's newsletter Commonwealth Today. He started the Cascadia branch of the o2 international sustainable design network.

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.)
