Stephanie Pau
Participatory speculative designer and artist
Stephanie Pau is an award-winning design researcher (’Street for diversity’ with Royal College of Art’s Helen Hamlyn Centre of Design and Intelligent Mobility Design Centre). She researches non-extractive participatory design and futures thinking methodologies and is always looking out for ways to expand non-extractive collective futuring practices, broadly related to health and ecology.
Prior to that she was a solution architect and had founded a health tech start-up, which adds up to about 15 years of deep dive into patterns of machines and human systems and business ecosystems driven by different kinds of money and structure.
She holds a Master of Research (MRes) degree in Healthcare and Design from the Royal College of Art (2017-2019) and a Masters of Engineering (MEng) degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Management from Imperial College London (2004, 1st Hons). She has published on methodologies of design-based futures thinking and collective imagination in academic journals/conferences and has been sharing her knowledge through visiting/associate lecturer roles at Future London Academy, Central Saint Martins, UAL and the Royal College of Art.

Studio ANDNAND
Beyond dichotomies
There are several ways to read the name of the studio. This one helps with the pronounciation: and-nand. ‘And’ is a logic in eletronics that returns true when both input are true, ‘nand’ is not-and - and here we are, working with both and neither, not dichotomies but plurality.
