futulier
noun
A person who designs, shapes, or seeds the future by creating new concepts, language, tools, or cultural patterns; someone who works on what will be usable later rather than what is useful now.

“She’s not a planner or a predictor — she’s a futulier. She builds the ideas people will need in ten years.”

“He doesn’t make products. He’s a futulier.”
