Description

Where creativity meets climate, culture, and change.

What does it mean to create in a time of crisis? On Future Form with Lauren Franco, I speak with designers, artists, and thinkers who are shaping not just the future of their disciplines but the future of our planet.

This isn’t your typical design podcast. It’s about people first. What drives them? What keeps them up at night? These conversations go beyond the portfolio to explore personal journeys, big ideas, and what’s next. From radical thinkers to behind-the-scenes creatives, you’ll hear unfiltered stories about sustainability, identity, and how design can shift culture.

No fluff. No jargon. No ego. Just real conversations with people using creativity to meet the moment.

So, what’s next for our world? Tune in to hear what’s possible and maybe leave inspired to create your own version of change.

Whether you're deep in the field or just design-curious, Future Form with Lauren Franco invites you to see creativity differently.

In the first episode of Future Form with Lauren Franco, I speak with regenerative ecology sculptor and activist Jordan Weber about art as a tool for environmental justice and collective repair.Weber shares how his work transforms polluted land in historically redlined neighborhoods into spaces for healing and resilience. Focusing his energy in East Detroit currently, he explains how ecological restoration, community design, and scientific research come together to address both environmental harm and toxic stress.The conversation also traces the personal and political roots of his practice, from Ferguson in 2014 to his ongoing commitment to building landscapes that counter violence in the built environment. Together, we reflected on sustainability, power in the art world, and the role imagination plays in creating more just futures.Theme song by Yuzeren.
