This needs to stop. In this episode of Future Future, hosts Phnam and Mardis Bagley cover the myths and misconceptions around the word, "sustainability," and instead advocate for regeneration.

    Design for Disability

    Most people might think design for disability equals medical devices that do the job. But it's so much more than that. Today's great innovators are thinking differently about who to design for, and what they actually need: dignity, taste, look, motivation, even pride. Designing for disability is a process that involves human-centered design research, material science, machine learning and AI, and so much more. And it actually benefits all of us. Find out what we mean in this latest episode of Future Future with hosts Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley. This podcast is brought to you by Nonfiction, a design firm based in San Francisco, USA.

    Design for Humanity

    Pre-historic humans designed the sewing needle to survive the elements, and started planting crops to feed their growing tribes. Today, we have customized transformative technology to help us perform better, like the Oura Ring and Fitbit. And soon, we'll have AI and machine learning powered technology to help us become even healthier and happier. In this episode of Future Future, hosts Phnam and Mardis Bagley talk about the past, present, and future of designing for humanity. They'll share how Nonfiction is working to solve problems having to do with longevity, health, wellness, comfort, and equality, and how important it is to make sure designed innovations are accessible to all.

    Design for Impact

    Design is powerful. But if you're not designing to positively impact humans and the environment, then you shouldn't be designing. At Nonfiction, we think about systems around the product that we design. Where do the materials come from? How are they being transformed? How do they impact the lives of the people they're designed for? What happens after you throw them away? Season two of Future Future is here, and in this episode you'll hear hosts Mardis and Phnam Bagley talk about how Nonfiction is working to design a world where people and ecosystems thrive.
