H2 Ecodesign grew out of Holley Henderson's passion for the sustainable consulting field.  Prior to founding H2 Ecodesign, Holley was with tvsdesign for ten years and later served as Interface Carpet’s Director of Creative Design.

Holley, LEED Fellow, has led several “firsts,” including the first LEED-CI project in the US (Platinum Level) and China (Gold Level), as well as, the first LEED project in Thailand.  Most recently, H2 Ecodesign completed an over two-million-square-foot LEED-CS (Platinum Level) project for the largest energy provider in Thailand.  Beyond buildings, H2 Ecodesign collaborates with a myriad of product manufacturers including Universal Fibers and Gerflor facilitating their green path including external and internal communication, as well as, training. 

For over a decade, Holley has served the National U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) by chairing the Market Advisory Committee and LEED-CI Core Committee.  Subsequently, she participated in the numerous leadership committees for the National USGBC such as LEED Steering, Greenbuild Special Programs, Educational Development and the International Forum.  She is charter faculty for the National USGBC LEED Workshops and one of their key “go-to” subject matter experts for developing curricula. With Holley’s common sense approach, the USGBC reached out to her to be the first to teach the LEED v4 workshop at Greenbuild.  holley@h2ecodesign.com
