Navigate AI with Confidence—Without Losing What Makes You Human
AI is reshaping creative work faster than most of us can process. As someone who’s spent three years living at this intersection daily—leading creative teams, shaping AI policies, and helping writers find their voice in the age of automation—I bring both technical understanding and deep respect for the creative process.
Whether you need a conference keynote, interactive workshop, or strategic consultation, I help creative professionals and business leaders move from fear and confusion to empowered, informed action.
Who I Work With
Writers & Creative Conferences: Writers were among the first to feel threatened by AI, and for good reason. I help writing communities understand how to use these tools as thought partners rather than replacements, protecting what makes their voices unique while leveraging technology strategically.
Business Leadership & Innovation Events: Organizations need leaders who can navigate AI adoption thoughtfully. I speak to the intersection of creativity, ethics, and practical implementation, helping teams integrate AI without sacrificing the human elements that drive real innovation.
Creative Agencies & Marketing Teams: Creative professionals need frameworks for using AI that enhance rather than diminish their work. I provide practical guidance on tool selection, workflow integration, and maintaining creative integrity in an AI-augmented world.
What I Speak About
My talks center on the human side of AI adoption in creative fields. Core themes include:
AI Governance & Ethics: How to develop policies and practices that protect creativity while embracing innovation. Real-world frameworks from someone who’s implemented them.
Creative Empowerment in the AI Age: Moving beyond the fear of replacement to strategic partnership. Understanding what AI can and can’t do—and how to use that knowledge to your advantage.
The Thought Partner Approach: Why using AI as a thought partner rather than a shortcut unlocks creativity instead of diminishing it. Practical techniques you can implement immediately.
Avoiding the Race to Mediocrity: How LLMs work, why they push toward the average middle, and what that means for anyone committed to original, powerful work.
Custom Topics: I develop talks tailored to your audience’s specific needs and challenges. Let’s discuss what would serve your community best.
My Approach
I don’t do fear-mongering or hype. My sessions are grounded in three years of daily experimentation, policy development, and team leadership at the intersection of creativity and AI.
What makes my perspective different:
- I speak both languages—creative and technical
- I’m a practicing creative professional, not just a consultant
- I focus on empowerment, not intimidation
- I provide actionable takeaways, not just theory
- I respect the craft while embracing innovation
My goal is always the same: attendees walk away with lightbulbs going off, new connections forming, and concrete actions they can take.
What to Expect
For conferences: Dynamic, engaging presentations that balance big-picture thinking with practical application. I invite questions, encourage dialogue, and create space for real learning to happen.
For workshops: Interactive sessions where participants experiment with tools, explore ethical implications, and develop strategies they can implement in their own work.
For consulting: Strategic guidance on AI policy development, team training, and creative workflow integration that honors both innovation and human creativity.
