Making the future cooler.

I’m an industrial, interaction, and experience designer, futurist, illustrator, storyteller, and educator. Futurethingy is a design consultancy and change agency that envisions future states - such as products, transportation, cities, and systems - through design and narrative. This future is ethical and optimistic. The Futurethingy Bureau of Change in California Lane, is a studio, a design generator, a space to share positive ideas, a meeting place, a retail shop, and an ever evolving display of what’s possible.

I studied industrial design at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.  At Motorola Inc. in Chicago I designed products and concepts, produced videos, and was an eco-design lead. This sustainable design initiative looked at everything from materials and manufacturing to recycling, repair, and refurbishment. At design consultancy MINIMAL, also in Chicago, I designed products and concepts, produced videos, and art directed for clients such as Microsoft, Xbox, Nike, and Dell. I have extensive international experience as an independent consultant, working with the US automotive industry for several years on rapid prototyping, empirical research and vision projects for electric and autonomous vehicles, and the future of mobility.
