She coined the term "Fashionable Technology" and became its inaugural professor at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, a discipline she introduced to the world through her bestselling book of the same name. Her think tank MOONDIAL explores the convergence of sensors, data, and the human body to advance digital health and green tech solutions for a regenerative lifestyle, while SUPA is tokenizing the body to democratize healthcare. She recently co-founded PONY EARTH, a venture dedicated to financing the recovery of agricultural biodiversity worldwide to build resilient food systems and combat climate change.

Described as a visionary, holistic thinker, and interdisciplinary rebel, Dr. Seymour has been featured in Wired, Vogue, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, and has appeared on PBS, NBC, and ORF, with her life's work honored at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.
