Fiona Raby

About the Author

Fiona Raby is a pioneering designer and thinker whose work bridges the realms of design fiction and speculative futures, challenging conventional notions of innovation and societal progress. With a background in industrial design, she co-founded the Design Interactions program at the Royal College of Art, where she explores how speculative scenarios can provoke critical discussions on technology, ethics, and human experience. Raby's practice emphasizes 'social dreaming,' using fictional prototypes and narratives to envision alternative worlds that question the status quo. Her influential book, Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming, co-authored with Anthony Dunne, has become a cornerstone text for designers and scholars interested in the intersection of creativity and critique. Through exhibitions, writings, and collaborations, Raby continues to inspire a more imaginative and responsible approach to design in an increasingly complex world.
