Jared Schiffman is a creative technologist and serial entrepreneur who has worked at the intersection of design, computer science and education for over two decades. His work is infused by the belief that creativity is as essential to engineering as it is to the arts, and that the freedom to invent—and reinvent—is fundamental to the success of every organization. Jared is currently a Fellow at Teaching Lab Studio, where he explores how AI can transform education. His research focuses on leveraging AI to enhance mathematics learning, foster creativity, and build meaningful connections in the classroom. A lifelong student and educator, Jared founded Phenomena, a creator-driven platform for experiential math and science learning in 2021. Phenomena’s pedagogy is rooted in the power of play and hands-on experience to help students understand complex STEM concepts. In 2012, Jared founded Perch Interactive, a retail tech startup whose proprietary technology unites physical products with the digital world to engage customers and drive product sales. Clients include Kate Spade, Estée Lauder, Johnson & Johnson, and Sephora. In 2005, Jared co-founded Potion, an interactive design and technology firm twice-named a finalist for the National Design Award in the Interaction Design category and designated one of Fast Company's "Top 10 Most Innovative Design Companies.” Major projects are on display at the Smithsonian, the Museum of Science & Industry, the National Holocaust Museum and Bell Labs, among others. Jared has taught courses at Parsons (The New School), New York University, and High Tech High, a charter school in San Diego funded by the Gates Foundation. He received a Masters degree in Media Arts & Science from the MIT Media Lab, where he studied under Prof John Maeda in the Aesthetics & Computation Group, and a Bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering from MIT.

At Future Colossal, my approach to interactive installations hinges on a seamless fusion of system architecture design and engaging user experiences. The past years have been dedicated to transforming initial concepts into deployed innovations, ensuring each project resonates with its audience. Our team's success in creating the Netflix Squid Game Experience in LA exemplifies our commitment to delivering captivating interactive projects. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, my focus on upholding design standards and gameplay programming has been instrumental in mentoring emerging talent and leading by example. By integrating UX/UI principles, we've enhanced brand presence and driven user engagement across various platforms. The dedication to quality and innovation is reflected in every aspect of our work, from client presentations to hardware prototyping.

I’m a strategist and placemaker collaborating with organizations to design meaningful, high-impact experiences in the built environment—and beyond. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve partnered with clients across sectors to shape everything from large-scale museum exhibitions and future-focused HQs to immersive retail and cultural destinations. My work bridges deep audience insight with bold creative strategy to guide design, brand, and storytelling outcomes. I lead strategy with a focus on collaboration, curiosity, and systems thinking—asking not just what we’re building, but why it matters and how it moves people. I’m passionate about the future of place-based design, brand storytelling, and building experiences that connect meaningfully with audiences. Always open to conversations around new collaborations, partnerships, or opportunities.
