Queer AI keynote speaker. Neurodivergent AI founder. Agent-native operator.
Eight hundred conversations.
One thesis.
Eight hundred recorded conversations with executives, founders, and creators on what AI is doing to work. The thesis I keep returning to: AI is most useful when it amplifies a real human voice, not when it replaces one.
I speak on AI, neurodiversity, and what happens when working artists have to figure out new tools at the same time as everyone else. Keynotes, panels, workshops. In-person or virtual.

Topics
What I speak on.
-
01
AI in creative work
What working artists, marketers, and storytellers actually do with AI on a Tuesday, when nobody is watching. And what separates the moves that hold up from the demos that don't.
-
02
AI and neurodiversity
How AI workflows can be designed for, not around, neurodiverse cognition. Late-diagnosed dyslexia and ADHD; the things AI gets right are the things that used to be exhausting. Hosted on PowerToFly as a SHRM-eligible webinar series; adopted as a student resource at Buffalo CareerDesignStudio, the Pomona Career Development Office, and Richmond Career Services.
-
03
Building people-first AI products
What it takes to put a human voice at the center of an agentic workflow, working backward from two AI-native companies (Plumwheel and RAGnos) shipping the bet weekly.
-
04
The picket line and the prompt
On the SAG and WGA picket lines and using ChatGPT the same week. The discomfort is the curriculum. What working artists already know about AI that the industry is still catching up to.
-
05
The future of agentic media
Brand voice, founder narrative, and AI-native production are collapsing into one craft. What that means if you make things for a living, and what to stop doing now.
