How an executive school for creatives nurtures marketing-led design

Over the past nine years, Future London Academy cultivated thousands of graduates in areas of branding, creative leadership, and innovation strategy. Among many others, teachers include prominent design figures such as Harry Pearce, Partner at Pentagram; James Hilton, Founder of AKQA; and Alastair Simpson, VP of Design at Dropbox. Polina Kirei, Lead Designer at Future London Academy, explains how Readymag helps to maintain visual cohesion across the academy's educational products and drive business-oriented design culture.

Design education with reverence and care

Our deepest purpose at Future London Academy is to nurture creative communities around the world, uniting professional designers while helping them learn and make the world a better place. In essence, we are forward-looking: our teachers always strive to shed light on the latest tools and frameworks at their fingertips. It’s what distinguishes us from typical universities. Our work as a company is also guided by the same principle. For instance, we actively use DALL-E and ChatGPT at the concept stage.


Touching on our curriculum, we approach everything with great reverence and care. We spend a lot of time cultivating a high-calibre roster of teachers who are leaders and experts in their field.

We are a team of designers and creatives, so we do really understand what is useful and interesting to our students. It helps us create products that we would gladly take ourselves.
