Who’s Who in Green – Jill Fehrenbacher

If there’s an ‘elite’ set of green bloggers, Jill Fehrenbacher is definitely among them. Founder of one of the web’s most interesting green websites, Inhabitat, along with its sister site Inhabitots, Fehrenbacher is like the cool, stylish and slightly geeky chick at school that everybody wants to be friends with.

Educated at Brown University, where she received a B.A. in Art Semiotics, and Central St. Martins, where she received an M.A. in Design Studies, Fehrenbacher is also a freelance designer and green design consultant based in New York City. Her stunning photography and design work can be seen on her website, JillFehrenbacher.com.

And, every year, when all of those awesome green gadget concepts start popping up on the web – well, Fehrenbacher has a hand in that, too. She’s co-founder of the Greener Gadgets Conference, which holds an annual contest that spurs creative thinkers all over the world to submit their green designs that could help make the world a better place. Here’s a video clip of Fehrenbacher speaking to the editors of Metropolis magazine, TreeHugger.com and Core77.com at the 2007 Greener Gadgets Conference.

Inhabitat.com features the latest cutting-edge green design, architecture and other innovations, offering tons of gorgeous photos and top quality reporting.  Fehrenbacher was inspired to launch Inhabitots.com, which focuses on green design and products for children, when she was pregnant with her first child in 2008.

What can we expect from Fehrenbacher in the future? She told Sean Daily of Green Living Ideas that she’s thinking about rolling out a few more specific sites a la Inhabitots, perhaps in the areas of fashion and architecture. As great as Inhabitats and Inhabitots are – and as successful as Fehrenbacher has been in positioning herself as a top green expert – we’re sure any new sites will be top-notch.
