Biography

Jeremy Jordan is the founder and principal of LOCAL Design Collective.

Over the past 16 years of practice, Jeremy has dedicated himself to the pursuit of design excellence and inspiring others to strive.  From initial visioning and documentation to project realization, he played a vital role on many of Nelson Byrd Woltz’s signature projects, ranging from Memorial Park, Houston and Citygarden in St. Louis, Missouri to the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  

Much of his passion has been focused on restoration ecology and creation of resilient agricultural systems, helping to build NBW’s Conservation Agriculture Studio.  This body of award-winning work includes productive landscapes and ecological preserves in Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, California, Texas, New Zealand and Australia. Most recently Jeremy co-led the multidisciplinary design team responsible for the Central Connector Project at Memorial Park, Houston, a 96 acre earthwork and coastal prairie ecosystem restoration project, reconnecting two halves of a park divided by a 6-lane road. 

Jeremy graduated summa cum laude from Temple University in 2006. While at Temple, he interned for the Olin Partnership from 2004-2006, assisting on several projects including the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, the Rodin Museum Landscape Restoration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Bethel Performing Arts Center in Woodstock, New York, and the Logan Square Restoration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
