Keynote Speaker
Sharing ideas that spark action, conversation and results
With three decades in the creative industries, I speak about the future of design, leadership, and innovation - always with warmth, clarity, and practical insight. Whether you’re running a global conference, an industry panel, or an in-house leadership offsite, I tailor each talk to connect with the room, challenge assumptions, and inspire action.
From AI to new creative tools, the design industry is evolving fast. I unpack what this means for teams, careers, and the creative process - and how to stay human in the age of acceleration.
Leadership is about more than titles. I share real-world stories and actionable frameworks for building brave teams, leading with empathy, and creating cultures that unlock world-class work.
Great products sit at the intersection of user needs, business goals, and creative innovation. I explore how to align cross-functional teams to build products that drive growth - and make a real difference.
Design doesn’t just make things look good - it changes what’s possible. I speak about embedding design at the heart of business to unlock new revenue, shift perception, and drive market impact.
