The Next Human Project

The Next Human Project

Introduction

Humans have always feared death and chased ways to outlive it — yet across centuries, the same patterns repeat. Access is gated by wealth. Ethics are bent by urgency. And the boundaries of what we allow ourselves to discover are shaped more by fear and inequality than by science itself. This project explores that tension — tracing the arc from barber-surgeons to mRNA vaccines, from early apothecaries to longevity biohackers — asking what it really means to extend human life, and at whose expense progress has always been made.

Designing From the Past to Provoke the Future. Who actually gets to live longer?

The research methodology for this project began not online, but in person — at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Three medical artefacts were selected as entry points into history: a Surgeon's Saw from the earliest era of barber-surgery, a Drug Jar from an 18th-century Valencia Apothecary, and a Measles Poster from public health campaigns of the past. Each artefact was analysed through a PESTLE framework — unpacking the political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental forces of its time. From there, the methodology shifted forward: speculating how those same patterns might manifest in the near future. The outcome was a provocative brand concept — a Lifespan Vaccine, delivered through a Longevity Clinic brand experience. Not a utopian vision, but a deliberate mirror held up to human nature: our instinct to survive, our history of unequal access.

Longevity for All or Just for Some?

This project sits at the intersection of branding and critique — designing a world that could exist, to reveal the tensions that already do. A brand identity that doesn't just live in the market, but questions it.
