After obtaining his degree, Palleroni spent ten years working in Nicaragua, Mexico, and North Africa on projects sponsored by the United Nations and the World Bank. He then returned to the United States to teach at the University of Washington.
In 1986, he began a series of collaborations with Carlos Mijares Bracho and Gabriela Videla that established the term "public interest design". In 1987, Palleroni and Vidella founded ADE (Accion y Dessarollo Ecologico), an NGO that grew out of the practices of Paolo Freire and Ivan Illych, with whom they collaborated through their outreach organization, CED. The NGO was reconstituted as Comunidad AC in 1997 to allow it to fundraise for social interest projects in the region, many of which were constructed via international collaborations. These collaborations began in 1988 through University of Oregon. Fieldwork studios were formalized as an independent organization in 1995, as the BASIC Initiative (a service-learning program) while Palleroni was an associate professor at the University of Washington College of Built Environments. The outreach organization was founded in collaboration with David Riley, who, as of December 2023, runs the nonprofit Indigenized Energy Initiative based in Berkeley, California. [2]
In 2004, Palleroni was invited by Professor Steven Moore and the Center for Sustainable Practices at the University of Texas to establish a fieldwork program. His work at UT, supported by a Luce Foundation grant, led to the creation of the Alley Flat Initiative.

A new Center for Public Interest Design (CPID) [1] was founded in March 2013, promoting public interest design.
