Possible Futures

I teach in a graduate interaction design program, and over the last couple of years I have watched my students grow anxious about their futures. The job market is being reshaped by AI, and a lot of the usual advice stopped fitting. So I started building Possible Futures, a tool to help people navigate a career through all of this change. You begin by writing about yourself and your goals. Then you can paste in a job posting and score it against your own compass, the things you actually value, instead of a hiring algorithm. You keep track of how each role lands, and the tool is built to reveal the work you put in rather than let a screener bury it. It borrows from foresight practice. A job search is really a question about the future, and this is a way to approach it with intention and some dignity. The focus right now is personal, but job seekers are half of the job market. My hope is that together we start to see how work is changing and how to plan for what comes next.
