About Rael Futerman
Chief Learning Officer at Cartedo
I am interested in how design can create positive, impactful change in the world. I was a design educator for about 15 years, teaching Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Business Design and Design Thinking at various universities around the world. The last academic post I had was founding programme manager at the University of Cape Town, d-school. While teaching, I received my Doctorate in Design, which focussed on integrating Participatory Design into government programmes aimed at improving service delivery to disadvantaged communities. A couple of years ago I co-founded Cartedo, an experiential learning organisation aimed at scaling future-readiness skills development. We combine design thinking, teaching & learning pedagogies and data science - so currently focussed on designing engaging learning journeys.

What mentees say
“I had a wonderful and meaningful conversation with Rael around Learning Experience Design. I connected with him to gain more clarity on my career path. He not only provided me with relevant insights, but also broadened my understanding and pushed me to think beyond my current notions. Very grateful for all the learning!”
“Very insightful and knowledgeable, Dr.Rael also drops some lovely gems of knowledge and explains complex ideas with ease to understand concepts. He definitely helped me with my design challenges and projects planning, I'm sure he'll help you with yours.”
“After speaking with Rael, I must say that his deep knowledge of learning science and the mental frameworks around learning design (which can be applied to any form of design) was something I really needed to hear. He provided me a wealth of resources that helped me recognize the skillsets I currently have and why it's important to keep learning and remain inquisitive.”
