Dayna Baumeister Biography
Dr. Dayna Baumeister is a biologist, educator, and design consultant recognized for her contributions to the biomimicry movement. Since partnering with Janine Benyus, Baumeister has co-founded the Biomimicry Guild consulting practice, The Biomimicry Institute, and Biomimicry 3.8, a B-Corp social enterprise focused on nature-inspired innovation and professional biomimicry training. Baumeister holds a bachelor of science in marine biology from New College, as well as a master's degree in resource conservation and a doctorate in organismic biology and ecology from the University of Montana, where she specialized in positive interactions among animal and plant life.
Baumeister's work has contributed to establishing biomimicry as a practice and philosophy for addressing sustainability challenges. She has served as an educator, researcher, and business consultant, advising more than 100 organizations, including Boeing, General Mills, Herman Miller, Interface, Microsoft, NASA, Nike, Procter & Gamble, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Seventh Generation. Her approach emphasizes viewing nature as model, measure, and mentor in sustainable design and innovation.
Baumeister designed the Certified Biomimicry Professional Program, a two-year, in-person master-level course for training and certifying biomimicry professionals, and co-designed the Biomimicry Specialist Program. These programs have contributed to the development of professionals skilled in applying biomimicry to sustainability and regenerative design. The programs' success led to a partnership between Biomimicry 3.8 and Arizona State University, resulting in an online graduate certificate program and a Master of Science in Biomimicry. Baumeister serves as co-director of the Biomimicry Center and is a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University.
Baumeister is the author of the "Biomimicry Resource Handbook: A Seed Bank of Knowledge and Best Practices," which serves as a textbook for graduate biomimicry programs. She has been a featured speaker at organizations and events such as the National Science Foundation, World Expo, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Bioneers, GreenBiz, and SXSW. Baumeister is recognized for her expertise in sustainability, regenerative design, and the application of nature-inspired strategies in professional practice.
