FUTURISTA - About us

We’re facing the biggest creative challenge of our time. The planet has a design problem — a consequence of how things are made — that cannot be solved by governments, non profits or people alone. This is our moment make a difference, doing all we know and love to do.

What if it works?

So we’ve created a forward thinking strategic studio for sustainable transition, to guide companies in the transformation process towards a new way of doing business. By bringing together expertises such as ethics, design, sustainability and branding; we rethink models, repurpose organisations and redesign the future of business with a regenerative approach, to achieve more friendly, just and happy solutions for people and the planet.

We believe the world will change, either by disaster or by design. We hope for — and commit to — the latest. Hopefully we can do it together.

We created futurista because we’re excited about new possibilities and we want to design the future of everything. So Futurista started in 2014 as a branding and design thinking company and worked in innovation, design and branding projects for major portuguese companies, such as Sumol+Compal, Nors, Portugália Group, or A Padaria Portuguesa.

But, at some point, something was missing. We questioned what kind of future we want to create. Cutting it short: sustainability was the missing piece. Ana joined the company and brought along her expertise of 20+ years experience helping companies with ethics and sustainability. Sustainability wasn’t the reason why we started futurista, but it is certainly the reason why we stay in business.

We now mix branding and design with ethics and sustainability, and we are helping companies in the transition process to more sustainable businesses, to create a more friendly, just and happy world. We help them find their purpose beyond profit, rethink their business ethics or imagine, design and brand better alternative futures.
