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.

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.

"What exactly does Nonfiction do?" is a question we hear often. We merge science, technology, business, art, and design to create solutions that put our clients at the forefront of their industries, from healthcare to aerospace to consumer electronics and more.
Why? We believe that science validates magic. That technology creates possibilities. That business should meet people's needs. That art triggers emotion. That design enables connections. And because we are committed to transforming lives for the better, each of our clients must satisfy at least one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

How did we feed humanity's growing population in the early 1900s? How will we feed our growing population in the very near future?
Revolutionary technologies like hydroponics will enable us to feed people wherever they are - whether in food deserts, on the Moon, or even on Mars. In this episode of Future Future, hosts Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley talk about why, how, and what's next for the future of food.

By 2050, we will be an estimated 10 billion people living on Earth. How will we feed ourselves? How will we keep our air clean?
One way we can do this is through hydroponics. Applied solutions like vertical farming enables us to grow delicious, nutritious food and remove toxins from the air while using less soil and space. In New York, people are already experimenting with integrating vertical farms into human-inhabited skyscrapers, so farm-fresh food is just down the hallway!
In this episode of Future Future, hosts Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley share the basics of hydroponics, and why it matters as we build a future where humans everywhere can thrive.

What is your stuff made out of? When we look at the products around us - consumer electronics, furniture, food containers - it's always that same fifteen materials. It's plastics. Glass. Aluminum. Wood.
At Nonfiction, we insist on getting more creative with materials. One of the ways we do that is by accessing a material library. Our headquarters hosts a world-class material library created by Material ConneXion, a New York City based material science company that gathers a lot of materials - and most importantly sustainable materials - from all over the world.
Our office features hundreds of materials that you can touch, smell, bend, and read about. Learn about why we have a material library, and how we use it in this latest episode of Future Future hosted by Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley.

Good designers know how to use materials to tell brand stories. In other words, materials are a way a brand's vision, mission, and purpose can be translated to the end user.
Thanks to our in-house material library in partnership with Material ConneXion, we at Nonfiction access the latest in material science advancements to apply renewable materials and tell beautiful stories. Materials that are self-healing. Living materials. Materials that react to temperature fluctuations. Each of these have huge potential to tell strong brand stories.
This episode of Future Future, hosted by Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley, will share how we take cutting-edge materials and put them out in the world to inspire other industries, companies, and people to do the same.
