ABOUT

Amanda Jensen is a multidisciplinary creative product leader and foresight strategist who fuses research, design, and storytelling to explore how culture, technology, and imagination shape the future. Based in Los Angeles and experienced across tech, film, AI, education, and social impact, she transforms complex insights into clear strategies, playful prototypes, and future-facing experiences.

Her practice bridges systems thinking, behavioral research, and speculative design to uncover cultural patterns and translate them into frameworks that inspire innovation and human-centered products. A creative problem solver with a vision-driven approach, Amanda partners with cross-functional teams to experiment with emerging technologies, design ethical AI systems, and craft inclusive solutions that resonate across diverse contexts.

As a global speaker, lecturer, critic, and advisor, she shares her approach to futures thinking and creative innovation by helping teams and audiences turn foresight into action. Her humanity centered storytelling has premiered at SXSW and reached worldwide audiences through Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

At the heart of her work is curiosity, cultural nuance, and a belief that creativity is both a lens and a tool for shaping what’s next – designing not just for what’s practical, but for what’s possible.
