Santini Basra

Director

Santini is enthusiastic about helping organisations think long term as a way to make better design and innovation decisions today. He founded the innovation consultancy Andthen in 2016, and leading the team there is currently his primary responsibility. Through Andthen, Santini helps clients to navigate the messy early-stages of innovation and make better strategic decisions, and has worked with a diverse range of clients like Mind, Scottish Government, V&A Dundee, Nesta, RBS and Hitachi.

Outside of Andthen, he is the founder and co-host of the Central Scotland chapter of the global Speculative Futures network, is a Visiting Lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art, and a trustee of the UK’s largest studio provider to creatives and artists, WASPS.
