Above all, I am a creator. Raised in Hawaii as a child of multiple heritages, I was always exposed to a multitude of cultures from Chinese to Japanese to Hawaiian. As a kid, I would always be reading in the library, starting my journey into the world of speculative fiction with the Redwall series by Brain Jacques and NOVA on PBS. To this end, I became a Speculative Design Major at UCSD, one of the first students to enroll in the new major. I knew it was the major to me because it combined both scientific inquiry and art, creating a major that envisions the future through research and artistic creativity. I’ve taken courses in Speculative Design and passed with flying colors through my work in imagining futures for underrepresented populations. I’ve also joined DFA, Design for America, a club formed by Don Norman to create human-centered design solutions for social problems. We’ve worked on a project to help refugee education inequality in the San Diego area and have won an award from UCSD for our proof of concept. I’ve interned for the UCSD Cross-Border Initiative, helping run an out-door learning environment as well as filming a documentary in a underserved neighborhood of San Diego. Now, I work at the Fox Lab and Indigenous Futures Lab at UCSD. My primary career path is as a Speculative Designer, finding a job in a lab or Think Tank to create new-paradigm shifting devices that challenge conventional thoughts on technology. If I can change a single life, then I will know I’ve taken my first step. As a secondary career goal, I also want to make a living from my fiction novels if possible. I love writing stories too much to give up, so getting paid for my craft would be great. https://2020.primerconference.us/democratised-scientific-futures-community-visions-guiding-science daily 0.75 2020-06-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dfe8737726470237fb74f42/t/5ec99185bb99ad6e863f61a0/1590268323845/P2020_Edited+Headshots-14.jpg Democratised scientific futures: community visions guiding science - Finn Strivens Designer & Researcher, Royal College of Art and Imperial College Finn is a designer and researcher interested in how to use futures methods to engage people with complex issues and contribute new perspectives to participatory processes.

Peter has 27 years of experience as a researcher, with 21 of those years spent conducting dialogue-based action research. (Action research involves those most affected by a challenge within the research process.) His work started within the civil service academies of several countries (Canada, South Africa, and Brazil). This has spread to consultancy work in the public, non-profit, and academic sectors. Much of this work involves developing new dialogue and visualization techniques to help diverse groups grapple with complex challenges. Peter also has 17 years experience as an information designer. This work is about orchestrating words and visuals (and sometimes motion) to explain complicated ideas. Examples include information graphics, motion graphics, e-learning modules, and dialogue tools. As part of his ongoing commitment to teaching, Peter has published a series of magazine information graphics within his EyeCues series and teaching tools under his EyeCodex series. The latter includes tools related to foresight (Service Foresight cards), culture (Mangrove model of ethnographic inquiry), and systems (SystemViz).

First through engineering, life sciences and computer sciences, then through the arts. When she became acquainted with future-based design, she realized that being a rigorous dreamer was key in solving challenges and shaping (real) innovation. Ever since, she has been exploring ways of re-shaping environments and methodologies to allow people to envision new futures, understand what they entail for society, and believe in making the steps to realize these futures. In short, she wants everybody to start dreaming again, and to wonder: what if? Currently, Justine works at Quint Wellington Redwood, an international consultancy company supporting organizations in designing and implementing digital transformation. Together with visual storyteller and fellow futures-enthusiast Liudmila Sharafutdinova, they are working on developing ways to shape a digital vision through future-based design. In their ongoing research, they are merging their personal strengths in organizational culture and innovation through foresight to develop a methodology bridging the future with the now. As a designer/engineer/artist, Justine likes to consider herself as a Swiss army knife, able to bring the necessary tools to the table to drive new ways of thinking and to initiate perspective shifts. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dfe8737726470237fb74f42/t/5ec99be002f4af1d185b7850/1590270972336/P2020_Edited+Headshots-28.jpg Designing Futures in a changing world, or how artists can break the norm - Liudmila Sharafutdinova Strategy and Innovation Designer, NonZeroSumLab Liudmila Sharafutdinova is a visual storyteller and a linguist of change passionate about futures and speculative design. She was born in Russia and moved to the Netherlands with the aim to study arts. Soon enough she realized that she is more of a designer than a painter and over traditional art, she preferred solving complex problems using design as a method and a language of change. Passionated graphic designer and illustrator, Liuda worked for small and big organisations as a communication and visual designer. Inspired by what future-based design can bring, and with a dire need to create change, she started working at PVH Europe (the American clothing company owning brands such as Tommy Hilfiger or Calvin Klein) where she merged artistic design practices of transmedia storytelling and agile methodology to drive change in the organizational culture. She currently works at Quint Wellington Redwood, an international consultancy company supporting organizations in designing and implementing digital transformation. Together with Justine De Ridder they are researching the current models of innovation and are working on establishing a new methodology aimed at bridging the Future with the Now. Liuda believes in the power of combining the “uncombinable” by bringing interdisciplinary solutions and eliminating the boundaries between corporate and artistic worlds. https://2020.primerconference.us/design-fluidity-electromedia-technoculture-and-racial-activism daily 0.75 2020-05-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dfe8737726470237fb74f42/t/5ecde5c87fb1044164745c5d/1590552083922/P2020_Edited-Headshots_Ari.jpg Design Fluidity: Electromedia, Technoculture and Racial Activism - Ari Melenciano Founder of Afrotectopia / Creative Technologist, NYU Ari Melenciano is a creative technologist and researcher who is passionate about exploring the relationships between various forms of design and the human experience.

We democratically explore concepts, then create actionable roadmaps for individual contributors to build symbiotic, polytopian futures together. We're designers, behavioral scientists, economists, doomsday preppers, and sci-fi geeks—but most importantly, we're dreamers with a knack for creating reality. I've been at GE Transportation (now part of the Wabtec family of companies) for 3.5 years, with former tours through agencies across sectors including products for Silicon Valley, citizen-facing federal government, and national defense. I'm a seasoned, international speaker on topics ranging from inclusive design to creative team management, technical tool how-tos, and more. I've volunteered at, organized, and otherwise supported innumerable meetup groups and conferences in half a dozen states. Today, I apply what I've learned from my peers, mentors, and impacted communities to bridge the gap between organizational product strategy (meeting goals and requirements by constituencies) and the people you and we serve in our functions, via the products we envision, manifest, and release—to every day strive for the relationship between business and environment to be healthful and sustainable. At times it feels like an insurmountable personal mission, but my exerted effort is unwavering. https://2020.primerconference.us/speculating-from-the-thick-present-participatory-methods-for-designing-feminist-futures daily 0.75 2020-06-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dfe8737726470237fb74f42/t/5ec994c10d634c6b2a4aac35/1590269387628/P2020_Edited+Headshots-17.jpg Speculating from the thick present: participatory methods for designing feminist futures - Sarah Elsie Baker Senior Lecturer (Master of Design) and Research Coordinator, Media Design School, Auckland Sarah is a Senior Lecturer and Research Coordinator at Media Design School in Auckland.
