Rachel Gorman is an award-winning artist and speculative designer working between New Orleans and New York. Her practice explores the embodied experience of possible futures, blending research with imagination, living and sustainable materials, bodily sensations, and creative technology to create installations and artifacts that transport audiences and spark meaningful dialogue. She holds an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design (2023) and is the co-founder of through studio, a design lab and consultancy that applies speculative frameworks and emerging biotechnology to address global environmental challenges and envision more sustainable futures. She is excited to present her work as a member of The Front and as a featured artist at the NYCxDesign Festival in Spring 2025.
