Hi, I’m Damien Lutz
I’m a UX Designer, Life-centred Designer, Futurist, Author, and Artist.
I'm based in Sydney, Australia, home of the traditional custodians—the Gadigal people.

My work and play
Life-centred Design
Evolving human-centred design to also consider the environment and social justice, I produced the first life-centred design framework↗ in The Life-centred Design Guide↗, The Non-human Persona Guide, and I founded lifecentred.design↗.
Designing Futures
To introduce designers to future thinking, I also founded futurscouting.com.au↗ to share my Future Scouting® book↗, course, game and toolkit.
UX/UI Design
As a UX Designer and Researcher, I design human-centred digital experiences for commercial and government projects that balance desirability, viability, and feasibility while being inclusive, accessible, and looking out for the vulnerable.
Talks & Workshops
And at times, I’m honoured to be asked to talk and workshop about my futuring and life-centred design work.
Science Fiction
I started designing with the future with science fiction, speculating future technology, societies, and environmental states through three speculative fiction books.
Drone Filming
When I can, I get off the planet a bit to see it from above and appreciate things in a way I never could before—with my DJI drone.
I acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of Sydney and thank them for their knowledge
I support equality that unites the community. You can support too↗
I support sustainable product design by regenerating the materials of my books. You can support too↗
All my sites are Green Hosted↗
