Speaking
I specialize in dynamic, thought-provoking talks that connect the dots between culture, creativity, cognition, and learning. Whether addressing educators, policymakers, artists, or change-makers, I craft compelling keynotes and presentations that challenge conventional thinking and inspire action.
