As a globe-trotting researcher, educator, team leader, and writer/media producer, I am passionate about creative cultures and digital futures. I have fifteen years’ experience in facilitating workshops and conferences, building inclusive communities, conducting user/maker research in diverse global settings, crafting multimedia, and clear written and oral communication. My deliverables include short documentaries, TED-style talks, white papers, digital storytelling, and custom-tailored training modules, both online and in in-house settings.
