The best way to predict the Future is to create it An equitable Future is possible The Future is loving the dust in the corners
We are Future. By Design
Future. By Design are the agency who bridge the old world with the new. We are systems shifters, amplifying agents and believers in transformation and possibility.
Our methodology is socially responsible, generationally impactful and honours te tiriti. We support organisations to make smart steps towards sustainable change; focussing on what matters, not what’s the matter; wasting nothing that has been given and understanding what is already known; believing that people are experts in their own lived realities, and that the “ordinary is extraordinary”
(Dame Tariana Turia).
At Future. By Design we believe Aotearoa New Zealand can be a place where everyone thrives.

At Future. By Design being socially responsible means considering all the implications. We use foresight and futures thinking to ensure solutions not only reduce systemic inequities, but also step us towards sustainable change. We take the time to carefully chart the potential course of our solutions so that we know we are contributing to Aotearoa being a place where everyone can thrive.

At Future. By Design being generationally impactful means we seek Futures that are enduring for seven generations to come.
In a world that’s set on visualising chaotic dystopian futures - we’re set on designing a society that re-lays the foundation for our great great great grandchildren to come.
-
At Future. By Design we do design differently: honouring and embedding te tiriti in our methodology and ways of living. Every step of our journey contributes to Future solutions that shift purpose, power, relationships and resources across systems.
The Future is not whizz bang, glossy populated templates or a unicorn solution that looks great but leaves you wondering ‘how did we get here?’.
Future. By Design delivers to you evidence-based, understandable and actionable solutions from start to finish, across existing programmes or large scale transformational change. We specialise in understanding the communities you serve, building capability, navigating complex systems change and designing The Future.
No organisation is starting

Illuminating Pathways Forward
The Future is unlocked through making the invisible visible and getting comfortable in complexity.
Which parts of the system can you see clearly and which parts exist in the shadows?
Aotearoa New Zealand’s social systems are a complex, multi-dimensional landscape. Let us help you map what exists, what still serves you and what doesn’t; identify opportunities, plan for the Future and capture and share your story of change.
The Future is blurry, but what glimpses of light already glimmer on your path?
Strategy Grounded in Community
The Future begins by listening to who you’re designing for.
What do you know about them and are
they at the design table with you?
Aotearoa New Zealand has a rapidly evolving and diverse population. Let us help you shape your design by centering and elevating community voices through community analysis, deep user research and participatory methodology.
The Future is uncertain, how will you anchor your trajectory?
