J. Paul Neeley (1978) is an American service designer & speculative designer, researcher, and startup founder based in London[1]. He is regarded as part of the "first wave" of modern speculative designers[2] and is known for his thinking around speculative design normalization and applications in business settings.[3][4][5][6]
Biography[edit]
J. Paul attended Northwestern University in Evanston, and later studied at the Royal College of Art with Tony Dunne & Fiona Raby receiving an MA in Design Interactions (with Distinction).[7][8]
He has worked at Unilever, Teton Radiology, and at Mayo Clinic’s Center for Innovation as one of the first Service Designers in the US working in healthcare.[9]
Work[edit]
J. Paul's design work explores the social, cultural, economic, and ethical implications of emerging technologies.[7] J. Paul concentrates on designing speculative futures that help people engage with possibility as a way of reframing and understanding current states of being. His projects have focused on climate change, happiness, healthcare and wellbeing, self quantification, AI, synthetic biology, and future mobility. He has also explored issues of complexity and computational irreducibility in design and business and advocates for a New Kind of Design.[10][11][12]
J. Paul has worked with the UK Cabinent Office's Policy Lab, looking at shifting government focus from the treatment to prevention[13]. He has been a collaborator on Zaha Hadid Architects VR thinking[14], and has worked with Move Lab on the future of mobility[15].
Notable speculative design projects include Gaia Corporation[16] looking at the future of synthetic biology and intellectual property rights,[17] This Is Not A Pipe,[18] Mimic,[19] and Masamichi Souzou, on the optimization of happiness.[20][21]
He has contributed to speculative design discourse with thinking around A/B/C?[2], the use of speculative design in business settings, and the application of exponential curves to future cone visualisations[22].
J. Paul talks about creating meaningful impact in his design work. He consults in Service & Speculative Design at Neeley Worldwide. He is the founder of Masamichi Souzou, an organization working on the optimization of happiness through "the consideration of everything."[21] He co-founded YossarianLives, a project exploring artificial intelligence for creativity[23][24][25]. J. Paul is also the co-founder of Parlia, an encyclopedia of opinion.[26] Parlia's goal is to map the world's opinions, with a view to supporting civil discourse and understanding.[27][28]
J. Paul teaches and lectures in Design. He is a tutor in Service Design at the Royal College of Art[12], and has guest lectured at Imperial College: Computer Science, RCA: Design Interactions, NYU: ITP, Köln International School of Design[11], and SVA: Design for Social Innovation. He also runs the School of Critical Design.
