Speculative design challenges us to imagine possible futures and explore the impact of emerging technologies, social changes, and cultural trends. It's a creative practice that asks: "What if?"

Today, speculative design is largely limited by the number of practitioners, experts they collborate with, and the depth of their personal experiences and perspectives. While their work is deeply researched and highly crafted, many cultures, fields, and ideas remain unexplored due to the number of practitioners producing speculation design work.

Design Frontier seeks to fill that gap by leveraging advanced reasoning capabilities of cutting edge generative intelligence to create speculative designs from diverse, underrepresented perspectives—reaching new fields and cultures untouched by traditional methods.

By leveraging generative AI and agentic workflows, Design Frontier introduces “AI Designers” programmed to represent diverse backgrounds from around the world. These AI designers simulate unique perspectives, generating thought-provoking speculative design works by following a specific speculation design process.
