I advise brands, technology companies, universities and institutions, and speak internationally on AI and human behaviour, the future of learning and work, and what the next generation will eat, wear and believe. I design research and education, and turn them into programmes, standards and tools. From executive briefings and team workshops to postgraduate curricula and global studies, I build the learning and insight underneath product, brand and talent decisions: who a technology is for, what it does to people, and what an organisation needs to know and be able to do next. My work moves between industry and academia, drawing on social psychology, culture and design, and the largest global study of digital fashion education to date. I have led industry and university partnerships, taught internationally as a lecturer and visiting professor, and co-developed postgraduate programmes, bringing research and practice into the same frame.
