8 Week Design Fellowship Program

WHAT WE ARE The Future Cognition Collaborative is a speculative design lab emergently organized
by an open community of diverse creators. What big ideas do you have that your
WORKING ON organization isn’t quite ready for yet? Our work explores the future of work, the future of
personal data, and the future of engagement... and we shape those futures to align with
your strategic and organizational needs.
