As founder of Radical Futures, I navigate the fertile edges where myth meets possibility, where fantasy intertwines with concrete action. I'm a critical futurist standing at the threshold between worlds—supporting communities through the necessary death of extractive systems and the messy, beautiful birth of regenerative ones. Through immersive world-building and collective imagination practices, I help organizations and movements transform their relationship with the future—moving beyond crisis response to active co-creation. My work uses storytelling's ancient power as a design justice tool, crafting detailed visions of futures where humans and more-than-human life flourish together in worlds specifically designed to hold many worlds within them. I guide communities through transformational experiences that challenge capitalist assumptions and make abstract possibilities tangible. My approach weaves together speculative design, ancestral wisdom, and DIY futuring to open portals to futures worth inhabiting—not as distant fantasies, but as realities we can begin prototyping today.
