Collective Design Fiction

Embracing the global connectivity of online conferences and the richness of knowledge in physical places to unpack tales of the futures. No utopias, no dystopias.

Stephanie Pau

Participatory Speculative Designer

(work in progress title, if it doesn't make sense, let's talk)

Stephanie Pau holds a Master of Research (MRes) degree in Healthcare and Design from the Royal College of Art (2017-2019) and practices as a designer and an artist at ANDNAND. She specialises in researching and designing methods to bring together a broad range of people to collaborate, converse and collectively find visions beyond watered-down consensus. She practices with tomato plants and waste materials to examine dominant constructs and explore signals of more-than-human care and belonging.

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 machine and human systems and business ecosystems. She also holds a Masters of Engineering (MEng) degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Management from Imperial College London (2004, 1st Hons). 

She has published about 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 the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, UAL.
