  06_Future Feelings with Radha Mistry + Julian Bleeker 07.01.2025 1h 3m

  Episode 06 welcomes thought-leader, product innovator, and futures designer Julian Bleecker, who is also the founder of Omata and Near Future Laboratory. He talks to host Radha Mistry about rediscovering and cultivating our childhood imagination, finding the harmony between creativity and structure, and joy as a metric of success. Nicolas Nova was an early and consistent participant in Julian's Near Future Laboratory's research and design studio. He recently passed while doing what he loved — trekking, exploring, observing in curious and out of the way places. The entire design community has lost a gentle and thoughtful collaborator, teacher, mentor, instigator, interlocutor. His curiosity was infectious and his work was always inspired, thoughtful, full of wit, and provocative. We dedicate this episode to his memory and the good work that will continue in his name.
