Education & Speaking
Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Creative Industries
I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned on my journey as a designer and creative entrepreneur. I offer workshops and speaking engagements that combine my real-world experience as a multi-disciplinary entrepreneur and years of scholarship on subjects as diverse as fashion, textiles, art history, colonialism, sustainability, supply chain, fast fashion and more. My talks are designed to be practical, transparent, and inspiring, giving audiences the tools to manage their finances, their teams, and their creative visions with confidence, empowering the next generation of creative leaders.
