The future belongs to all of us, but we didn’t learn to use it yet.
As a futurist and scholar I often receive questions like:
There is a broad range of methods to grasp a future. Which one to choose?
As an outsider I see a diverse community of futurists.
Who to ask?
I want to explore the future of [any given topic].
Where to start?
My mission is to help you answer these questions and along the way, make as many people future literate as possible.

Set to publish this fall: my phd thesis titled 'becoming futurists'.
When I first set foot in the future industry, I noticed how diverse futurists were, producing an array of insightful yet individual reports, workshops, presentations, designs, etc. At the time, I observed that many futurists were actively building towards becoming a profession. To be of value in this process, I decided to pursue a PhD thesis, with the aim to help futurists reflect on their work, and contribute to this relatively new discipline. The result is my book, becoming futurists, in which I propose a broader view on professionalization with futurists as exemplary case.
