Ali Ahunbáev is an artist and product designer in New York — founder and director of Combat Créatif, a studio built on the belief that philosophy and beautiful utility belong in the same object. His current work spans Marble, a training app that treats the body the way philosophy treats the mind; The Art Movement, a series of exhibitions and rooftop gatherings for artists in New York; and Beau Flâneur, a fashion project about wandering. He is on leave from New York University, focused on doing great work and connecting with brilliant people, and writes weekly at PLAYFIGHTER.
