FUTURES

Julienne DeVita is a designer-turned-futures consultant after gaining a front row seat to the often catastrophic results of short-term thinking and consumption.

As a design futures practitioner and founder of Liminal, she blends strategic foresight, systems thinking, and design methodologies to develop strategies 5+ years into the future. She has worked with organizations including the OECD, Enterprise, EY, the City of Houston and Autodesk (among others).

As an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design, Julienne teaches courses spanning AI, design, and foresight to undergraduate and adult learners. Her research has been presented at conferences globally and explores the intersection of creativity, technology, and long-term thinking. In 2024-25, she was awarded a research grant to create an AI Design Ethics Toolkit, and has published multiple peer-reviewed papers on the topic.

Julienne is the co-founder of the Embodied Futures Collective, a community of foresight practitioners studying change through movement, togetherness, and presence. She also serves as chapter lead for the NYC arm of Futures Friends.
