Insightful, ingenious, beautiful design
We raise the bar for quality and deliver success measured in real-world business results.
Our teams operate as strategic “force-multipliers” - accelerating decisions with confidence, unlocking growth, and clearing the path for achievable innovation.

In the time it takes others to synthsize workshops and deliver slide decks, we deliver working prototypes to quickly validate outcomes, learn fast, and deliver faster.

We are strategy sherpas.
Start with strategy. Win with design.
Offering a unique mix of consulting and design services, Futuredraft functions as both a strategic advisory and a design studio. We work in an open and transparent way that leverages skills and efforts from a combined client and agency team.

Like sherpas on an expedition, we’re essential because of our lived experience navigating complex, uncertain, and treacherous conditions.

We don’t just lead. We help carry the load. We adjust in real time. And we know how to traverse the journey because we’ve done it before, repeatedly, in all kinds of conditions.

You don’t need sherpas everywhere - but when the path is steep, the stakes are high, and the weather’s unpredictable, you’re lucky to have them.

Our work elevates teams through deeper collaboration and more insightful, higher quality outcomes - leaving our client partners stronger and more capable after we’ve moved on.
Futuredraft & AI
Early AI adopters and strategic visionaries
Futuredraft has been using AI in our daily practice for nearly half a decade. Initially as an assistant for documenting and summarizing meetings and workshops, we have since incorporated AI into our core process.

Our use of AI has evolved quickly with the growing sophistication of AI capabilities. AI helps our design team by minimizing routine tasks, identifying best practices and codified workflows and in providing content and structure for mockups and prototypes. This translates to shorter timelines, deeper relevance and more meaningful  outcomes.

Our strategic insights and thought leadership accelerates our client’s AI roadmaps and shapes how AI will enhance and enable their business and their customer’s experience. Our hands on experience with AI has helped us to become expert practitioners in developing AI driven experiences with our clients. All of our work over the last four years leverages commodified AI. At the same time, we proactively anticipate how near-term and long-term capabilities will enhance and extend the systems we design.

We built it, We race it

One thing that Futuredraft team members all have in common - we love to take things apart, figure out how they work and find ways to make them work even better. The Futuredraft racing team is no exception.Futuredraft founder, Brian OKelley rebuilt and races a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI in events all over the West Coast, bringing his strategic thinking and passion for problem solving to the grid. Come see him race at Laguna Seca every August at the Rolex Reunion!

Just enough design

The goal was to create an appealing, simple and beautiful system to drive adoption and increase user satisfaction. The final design referenced visual cues from user’s  work environment and tooling while nodding to long established visual metaphors from physical products and tools.
