KWF Board of Directors

Born and raised in Toulouse, France, Jeremy trained as an industrial designer in Paris, and moved to California in 2008 to work for the Apple ID team led by Jony Ive. After 14 years at Apple, he joined the creative collective LoveFrom in January 2022. Jeremy says, "Food has unfortunately been overly industrialized and commodified, and I'm afraid that too many people have lost connection and respect for it. Food doesn’t grow in supermarkets! It takes a lot of work, a lot of care, a good amount of energy and planning to produce any ingredient, let alone to preserve it, prepare it and serve it to be eventually enjoyed."
