I'm a designer and researcher, focused on imagination and climate futures: creating tools to enable new ways of understanding and imagining, and new ways to live, with the goal of more equitable socially and environmentally sustainable futures for us all. That includes our interactions with the systems around us and between us, from climate to energy to mental health. I'm looking for opportunities to do this and help others do it, in practical (and in academic) contexts.I founded the Imaginaries Lab, an international research studio, which at present is best known for the New Metaphors project. We started as a lab within Carnegie Mellon and are now an independent organisation, based in Utrecht, Netherlands. At present I am Associate Professor at TU Eindhoven; from 2016–2020 I was an Assistant Professor and Chair of Design Studies at Carnegie Mellon; and before that, various research positions at the Royal College of Art (Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, and Innovation Design Engineering), Brunel University, and the University of Warwick.Earlier in my career I worked on the design of some unusual folding bikes for Sir Clive Sinclair, and wrote a book about the Reliant Motor Company. I studied Industrial Design Engineering at Brunel University (London), a Cambridge-MIT Institute Master's in Technology Policy at the University of Cambridge, and did my PhD (which led to the Design with Intent toolkit) in the School of Engineering & Design, also at Brunel.Emailing me: dan@imaginari.es may be better than sending me a message on here.
