Feral by Design Podcast

Wild solutions for human chaos

Feral by Design is a podcast where our Founder, Pia Williams, applies nature’s genius to everyday human chaos. At 6th Sense, we use biomimicry to help tackle complex innovation challenges. On the podcast, Pia takes a different tack: short, playful episodes grounded in real science, told through messy, self-deprecating stories. Some explore existing in-market examples, but many showcase our own original frameworks. Biomimicry with the door left open—smart ideas from nature, made relatable, practical, and surprisingly fun.
