Steve Mushin is an industrial designer and inventor who collaborates with scientists to solve perplexing problems that no one else seems to know what to do about - like what can be done with explosive cow gas or how to make bikes fly or cities transform into jungles as fast as possible. Steve is the author and illustrator of the award winning design book Ultrawild: An Audacious Plan to Rewild Every City on Earth, a book of 100+ inventions to change the world. Ultrawild has won Best Designed Children's Non-Fiction book at the 2024 Australian Book Design Awards, and is nominated for the 2024 Elsie Locke Award For Nonfiction in Aotearoa. Steve works between Aotearoa and Australia. In 2015 he received an Australian Design Honours award for his work in sustainable futures thinking.
